Default Tech Q: Embedding flv into a web page with extras.....

Background: My boss saw an ad in the http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ (the MASH TV: SWEDEN one).

He saw this yesterday then promptly promised a pretty big foreign bank, "Oh Kinvig can do that for you".

I need to embed an .flv file into a page that allows the user to click the movie and then get transferred to that banks web site.

The Daily Mash up seems, I think, to be using a bespoke flash player (http://videos.video-loader.com/_player/gvideoplayer.swf)

First port of call, I tried to be sneaky and copy the relevent parts of the page source, but this didn't work.

Using a bit of code swiped from elsewhere I can get my movie displaying on screen. But I have no idea how I would then get it to link to another web page.

This is driving me nuts. My boss knows I'm off on holiday on Friday for a week & the ad needs to go live next week.

I'm using asp classic (not my fault) and do *not* want an answer that involves javascript as I want this to be accessible!

Ideally, the answer will not invlove altering the flv file but altering flashvars settings - so the code can be reused!

So, any one technical got any ideas?
