'&jlink=' . $url . iif($rs['width'], '&bwidth=' . $rs['width']) . iif($rs['height'], '&bheight=' . $rs['height']) . '" wmode="transparent" loop="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/get/flashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" ' . iif($rs['width'], ' width="' . $rs['width'] . '"') . iif($rs['height'], ' height="' . $rs['height'] . '"') . '></embed>';

That works very well with one problem. When I click on the flash banner to be taken to the link for it, many times I get 2 windows that open. One with the proper link and one with the banner by itself.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I just finally got flash banners working on my forum but I was not able to use the embed ot object code. The only way it worked for me was to put the target link and the link to the flash banner in the two text fields:

URL
If you are using an Image banner, please insert here the destination URL.

Image / Flash
If you define here a picture, it is shown together with the Name as a tooltip, and the URL as destination. For Flash banners, please insert here the swf file.

and then set all three check boxes below that to "Yes":

Flash Banner = Yes
Please enable this option, if this banner is a flash (SWF) banner and you desire to use the inbuilt banner wrapper. Together with the wrapper you may also enable click tracking and other related features.

Flash Banner: object Tag = Yes
Please enable this option, if this banner is a flash (SWF) banner and you wish to use the object tag. It may be used alone or together with the embed tag. Please note that some browsers may require this tag in order to show a flash banner.

Flash Banner: embed Tag = Yes
Please enable this option, if this banner is a flash (SWF) banner and you wish to use the embed tag. It may be used alone or together with the object tag. Please note that some browsers may require this tag in order to show a flash banner.
