    someone please help me...ugh!

    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

    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!
