Re: turn a swf into a hyperlink

This cannot be done. An image or text can be turned into links by buffering
them with the <a> tag. I very much doubt that you could achieve the same
thing with <object> as it leads to ambiguity. When you press an <object>, it
is the object that interprets the signal. This will devour the signal before
the browser receives it. Having said that, certain sites have buttons that
are Flash. Then, it is the _Flash_ (.swf) where the link is specified and
interpreted. The (X)HTML markup does not serve this role. The SWF element is
an independent black box that grabs an arbitary, predefined region of the
page.

Best wishes,

Roy
