Hi everyone. newbie to koolmoves and flash in general. haven't had any search luck. here's the problem...

I want to create a small flash banner to put on one of my webpages for an advertiser. (a paying customer!)

Lets say i want the banner to have text that fades in and says "For the best deals in town..." then a picture of my advertisers logo comes up, then it loops.
simple right...I made the banner it looks great however I cannot figure out how to make the banner a link that goes to my advertisers website. I have toggle is a button yes/no to yes. Where do i put in url address?

I have even tried to use my site software to put a transparent box on top of the banner with a link to the site but that doesnt work either. What i have had to do is put a small text below the flash banner that says "click here" it works but look terrible. any advice would be huge.
thanks
DF

make the banner movie clip into a button and use the gui Actions>+>Goto Url

Do what Makulaf says. In KoolMoves, you could make text or shapes into a button or turn the banner into a button (In the shapes or tools menu "convert to button") with a "go to URL" (In properties under "actions") of:

http://www.advertiserswebsite.com

If you want it to open in a new window, set the target to blank.

If you banner is a movie clip, just put this actionscript on it:

on(release){getURL("http://www.advertiserswebsite.com","_blank");}

It should do the job!
