I made a flash banner

its not any great animation but I made a flash banner for a client and I thought it was pretty neat that you can embed the link to the web site into the banner. I think it will work so don't click on my banner unless you want to be redirected to another site.

just kind of testing it here.

Hi Bruce, no link in Opera 9.5 either.
Works in IE7 and FF2 though

I wonder why it did not work for you in FF3 ?
I tried it last night on the computer at home with FF3 and it worked. And I just tried it now on another computer with FF3 and again the link works

This is what is on the computer I am at now.

It didn't link in my IE7

Bruce the link is not working for me in IE7 and FF3. My cursor changes to a hand as if there is a hyperlink, but when I click nothing happens.

Bruce, are you using an absolute or a relative link? It won't work from TG's server if it's not absolute.

EDIT. Just tested the above and both work (The lower one giving a 404 as expected) so there might be something wrong with your link. Would you mind posting the xar so we can have a look?

Thanks everyone for taking a look. Im not trying to spam the boards but just wondering if I could make the hyper link work.

Maybe the problem is that I am not doing the link correctly or maybe there is better way that I should do it.

The banner was originally made as a gif animation. And there were 12 frames.
So then I did a flash export but I wanted to add the link.
I went under utilities and the did the add web address.
But I found that I had to go into the animation properties and select the whole banner for each frame and the add the address. So I had to do that 12 times.
Maybe there is an easier or better way ?

But I still was able to make the link work in FF3 and IE 7 , now on a 3rd different computer.
And I am using an absolute address.
