I am trying to put a link around the flash file thats is on my website.
Can I just add <a href="www.google.com"> infront of the <object> tag and then </a> at the end of the flash code like you would link an image?

I am linking to someone elses flash file so I cant just edit it and put an on click behavior in the swf file so I am trying to do it this way.

It seems to be working somewhat...when I load the page and put my mouse over the swf file it gives me the link hand cursor and shows the url in the status bar below...but when I click nothing happens.
