Hello guys,

I have just created a flash banner for my site. everything seems to be good
except the banner does not redirect to mainpage when you click on it..

this is the code I am using..

Am i missing something?

<object classid="clsid:d27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#
version=8,0,0,0" width="880" height="151">
<param name="movie" value="http://mysite.com/images/flash.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="http://mysite.com/images/flash.swf"
quality="high"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
width="880"
height="151"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

Also..

This is what happens;

when coded like this;

{
    getURL("http://www.mysite.com", "_self");
}

It does not redirect..

But when i code it like this;

{
    getURL("http://www.mysite.com", "_parent");
}

it opens in a new window. I am trying to get it to open in the same window.
How can I accomplish this?
