    Hi,

    I've successfully set up and tested the animation using the following format:

    <!-- flash -->
    <p><div id="flashcontent"><strong>You need to upgrade your <a href="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BIOW" target="_blank">Flash Player</a></strong></div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    // <![CDATA[
    var so = new SWFObject("animationfile.swf", "flashcontent", "130", "160", "6", "#FFFFFF");
    so.write("flashcontent");
    // ]]>
    </script></p>
    <!-- flash -->

    I would like to know the best way of of hyperlinking animationfile.swf to another page using code (if this is possible), rather than embedding the hyperlink in the actual flash animation, because it will be easier to update later if the hyperlink needs to change.

    I would be grateful for any information as I can't find any info on this :)

    you can't do this with swfobject, try posting to a flash specific list like Flashcoders, or try a flash help site like ultrashock.com or flashkit.com

    I thought that might be the case, but it's always worth posing a question as occasionally someone has found a workaround! I'll check out the sites. Thanks.
