How to Add a Web Page to a Flash Movie
If you're watching a Flash movie, it can be convenient to have the option to go to a related Web page directly from the movie. Adding a Web page link to a Flash movie is a bit more complicated than doing so in basic HTML and Web design, but not greatly so. The steps necessary to create the link are no more difficult that making the Flash movie in the first place.
