The flash animation (top object in the sidebar on the right) is supposed to
link to "http://gallery.me.com/northsideyouth#gallery" when you click on it,
but it's not doing anything when clicked on. It's not acting like a link at
all. Any idea why?

What you should do is place the transparent link on top of the flash
animation. (presuming you can't fix the link in the flash file directly)
Use position absolute to place it on top of the flashfile, give it the
correct height and width.
Do NOT forget to give a z-index to the object and embed tag, you can just
use position: relative and z-index: 1;, this will do just fine.
Problem is, flash always wants to be on top, tha's what's causing the
problem atm. :)

I'm sorry to seem like such a novice, but I haven't used absolute
positioning or z-indexing before, so would you mind giving me the lines of
code that I need to add to my files?
Thanks,
Daniel
