Hello guys. I need some help figuring this out and I appreciate any help you have. A guy sent me a flash banner when I'm only use to regular graphic extensions and I can't figure it out. I need to link the banner ad so that when someone clicks it, it takes them to their site preferably in a new window.

I need the banner to be linked to http://www.slumperseats.com

This is what I have so far:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
  codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash4/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
  id="name" width="468" height="60">
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.va-huntfish.com/ads/S2Border.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
  <embed name="name" src="http://www.va-huntfish.com/ads/S2Border.swf"
  quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="468" height="60"
  type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?
P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
  </embed>
</object>

Thanks fellas.

I've never done this myself, actually. But if I were to add flash animations, I'd place my trust in w3schools. And to make it a clickable link, I don't see why you cannot just place the object in an <a>-tag.

    <!-- I just copied this from w3schools, and changed some parameters -->
    <object width="468" height="60" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0">

    </object>
</a>

I don't see why you cannot just place the object in an <a>-tag.

<object> elements will be at the top of the stacking order in the flow which will mean that the <a>nchor element that is wrapped around the object will be below the object and will be "unclickable"

You may need to apply a "opaque" or "transparent" value to the object element's wmode attribute to ensure that other elements are not covered up or obscured by it.
