Hi guys, I am having an issue with making a flash banner clickable. I cant
figure out why. I had this site developed by a programmer and he has the site
in php with includes files (so the header is in an "includes" folder at the
root of my server and the index.php and banner.swf is at the very root of my
server).

Anyhow, can someone please a take a look at this page and tell me why the
banner isn't active to https://www.giddyupflix.com/register.php?

Here is the main page to view:
http://www.giddyupflix.com

Here is the header.php include code (which you can see on the index.php page
but just thought I would present here anyhow)

---------

<div id="subheader2"><a

href="https://www.giddyupflix.com/register.php"><object

classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swfla

sh.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="757" height="117" id="banner"

align="middle" border="0" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="movie" value="banner.swf" /><param name="quality"

value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> <embed

src="banner.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="757"

height="117" name="banner" align="middle" border = "0"

allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false"

type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"

/></object></a>
</div>

-------------

I thought it was because of the secured server URL, but I was able to place a
regular jpeg image banner instead of the .swf that linked to the secure server
URL just fine so I dont think that's it.


Anyhow, any help would be greatly appreciated!

The code you pasted is for the HTML portion of your banner, which won't do you
any good with making the banner clickable. What you need to be looking at is
the code within the Flash file itself, this is the file prior to compressing
into a .swf. Do you have access to the original file?
