# Flash Plugin for widgets??

 * I am trying to add a small flash.swf to a widget, but can’t get it to work. The
   swf is hosted on my server.
    I tried linking to the .swf file, and creating a
   html, so it is clickable. I just can’t get it. Do I need to use a text widget,
   and with what code? How about a php widget, and with what code. I want it to 
   be “clickable” All the plugins I have found allow posting to the body, but I 
   need posting to the widget. Thanks

 * i think you can use just text widget but there place html code responsible for
   showing the flash animation.
 * correct code you have for example here

 * (don’t place opening and closing tags of <html> and <body>)

 * i am not sure but rather not. ‘being clickable’ must be defined inside of flash
   animation

 * I was able to make a small area above and below the flash object (.swf) in the
   widget ‘clickable’ by inserting this line:
 * `<a href="http://mysite.com/"target="_top"> title="<span class="blck">Click Here
   </span>">`
 * Just above and just below the `<object>’ code
    I added the text ‘click here’ 
   so people would hopefully know they have to click there, and not the image. It’s
   not perfect, but works.
 * Does anyone know of a better way? (i.e. get the whole object to be clickable)?
