transparant picture above flash

Post by potato »

Hey,

im looking for a way to make a flash movie a link by putting a transparant picture above the flash movie.
So that its like you click on the flash movie, but youre actually clicking on the picture url above.

Anybody has got a kind experience?

I don't know why you couldn't just program the Flash movie to be a hyperlink itself (I'm fairly certain you can do it, after all, that's what all those punch the monkey ads are all about).

But yeah, you'd use absolute positioning CSS to do this job.

have a look at this page:
http://www.mytuningcar.be/videos

here you see all the thumbs of videos
the thumb is actually a google video where i made the controls of the video invisible by
putting them in a iframe thats smaller in width.

But now i want by one or another way making that the content of the iframe or the flash movie a link to the actual video-page.
