Can anyone help?

I have created a flash image which acts as a link to a friends website on my site. He wanted to keep track of how many referrals had come from the flash link on my site. He is using Statcounter but when a click through takes place from my site to his site via the flash image link, all that appears in his stats as the referring site is - "no referring link".

With a standard text link to his site from mine the correct information appears in the referring site.

Do i need to change the flash image in anyway? Is it a stat counter problem?
