nico,

i'v tryd that already. and it hasn't worked 4 me. thanx anyway. -Mon3y is the r00t of all evil and every man needs roots-

Have you also tried a <DIV>? Another possibility is to add a <DIV> with the same dimensions on top of the flash button, by specifying a higher z-index. And then trap the onClick of the <DIV>. Cheers,
Nico

I've not used Flash, but I thought you can assign an onClick event to the item itself within Flash? Maybe the Flash forum (is there one?) could help with that.

Questions:

1. Do you have the source file for the flash movie (.fla)?

2. Can you post a link to the page with the flash movie in it?

If you can do either of these then I can help Regards

What code did you try assigning to the onclick event from within Flash itself? Maybe it was that at fault.

wel i tryd this:

<EMBED SRC=&quot;flash.swf&quot; swLiveConnect=FALSE width=120 height=120 QUALITY=autohigh BGCOLOR=#000000 TYPE=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot;PLUGINSPAGE=&quot;

shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&quot;onclick=&quot;window.open('login.htm')&quot;>
and it didnt work.

What I meant on my first post, is that using Flash, the program itself, is it possible to assign an onClick event to it there?

 

[BigBadDave]

Yes it is and that is what i have been trying to say:

1. Do you have the source file for the flash movie (.fla)?

2. Can you post a link to the page with the flash movie in it?

If you can do either of these then I can help Regards
