URLs in Flash
To make an object in your Flash animation a clickable link, just select the object you want to make
clickable and select "Utilities" > "Web Properties
("Ctrl + Shift + W").
Enter the required URL. (If you require the link to open in a new browser window or browser frame
select the target web frame by selecting from the 'Open Link In
' dropdown menu).
If you want to make text clickable select the Rectangle Surrounding Object
option. This ensures those that viewers of your Flash animation can click anywhere over the text (rather
than just on the actual letter shapes).
Making the whole animation clickable
In the "Animation Properties" > "Flash Options"
tab you can set a URL to apply to a whole animation. This is useful for banner ads where you want a
click on any part of the animation to go to a given web address.
clickTAG
clickTAGs are often used by advertising networks. Rather than hard-coding a URL into a Flash
animation, the clickTAG allows an organization to insert their own URL into the animation, which is
particularly useful for tracking advertising clicks.
If you need to use this feature, check the clickTAG option.
