Does anyone know how to add a internal page link to a flash file? I have tried mapping over the file and adding a link but this doesn’t work when I preview in browser and the option to create a link is not available from them menu when I select the flash file?
Many thanks in advance, it’s probably really easy and I am just being stupid!!! :o)

If you want a link to fire when the Flash element itself is clicked, then you have to create that link within Flash. The entire rectangle that holds the Flash movie is “take away” from the browser, and none of the usual HTML tricks will work within those bounds.
Now if you add a link in Flash, you can re-target that link within Freeway using the Flash Extras Action. Make a button object in Flash, and set it to go to any random URL when clicked. Then apply Flash Extras to the resulting SWF file in your Freeway document. In the Links section of the Actions palette, you will see your link listed, and a standard link picker to allow you to re-target the URL of the link. This is a powerful tool for making things like Flash navigation bars (avoiding the obvious rule against using Flash for anything that critical to your site’s success) because you can make one master and change what each instance does.
There is one thing that might work, at least it does with QuickTime movies. If you click once on the Flash movie, and then open the Item / Extended dialog, make sure the Embed tab is highlighted, and add the following name/value pair:
