thanks so much. I figured it out. It's something that is done on the html page side: there's a click tag id that will keep a record of where the site is coming from and the url is embedded there.

Hi Rita -

I'm not a Flash guru, but it has to do with them being able to track the
incoming traffic.  I did a quick Google for "clicktag" and a few sites came
up that talked more about it.  I think you will find more help there.  From
what I have seen it looks like you are close but not quite there yet.  The
Macromedia site (now Adobe) gave some examples.

Sorry I can't be of more help!

Todd

Subject: [wdvltalk] clickTag -- Flash banner question

I created a flash banner that just jumped to another site, and somebody
wrote me and asked me for a change to incorporate a "clickTag"
  actionscript for ad tracking...

they wrote that I should substitute clickTag for the url:

> >on (release) {
> >
> >getURL(clickTag, "_blank");
> >
> >}

I am unfamiliar with this. Right now, I have:

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




I'm confused. I don't think they understand what they are telling me. How do
I get the click to jump to the site?

If anyone could help it would be GREATLY appreciated
