Header Flash Map error [FIXED]

Hello Ronins,

I noticed you have a nice header with a flash file and some cool animations, but when you click it, they redirect to nothing. I did some quick QA and found out the links are entering a continuous loop and wont load the user onto the destination, well because they are technically already there(being on the host page, and being redirected to host confuses the code).
So I created a quick fix, just tell your IT guy or Admin to put this under the <div> for the flash.png and those buttons will start working.

<map name="Map" id="Map">
<area shape="poly" coords="62,7,135,7,79,131,5,132,62,8" href="/forums/starcraft.95/" alt="game1">
<area shape="poly" coords="150,8,221,8,165,131,92,131" href="/forums/counter-strike-global-offensive.74/" alt="game2">
<area shape="poly" coords="235,9" href="#3" alt="game3">
<area shape="poly" coords="235,9,307,8,251,132,179,130,234,10" href="/forums/counter-strike-source.38/" alt="game3">
<area shape="poly" coords="322,7,395,7,341,129,265,130,321,7" href="/forums/battlefield-series.36/" alt="game4">
</map>
 
I could be wrong, but I don't think an image map would work with the header being Flash. I'm not the IT guy nor the admin, though. :p I honestly think the buttons simply aren't linked to anything.
Welcome to the forums, btw. I'm too lazy to post in your intro thread, but that name is so familiar, I'm sure we've played in the CSS server together.
 
Hey A-Rich,
I have seen you in the CSS server before.

You are partially correct, image maps wont map a .swf, unless you make the .swf transparent and map the image of the flash file. Which is what is happening in this case. They are redirecting, but like I stated above it wont send you anywhere because you are already at the host location, its a "href" destination error.

I included a screenshot in hopes it would make sense.

By George, it is mapped like you said. Learn something new every day.
I just figured the links were never created but I can see now that they're there.
Again, I've had no part in this, so my incompetence isn't representative of the creators. :)
I still don't think clicking is doing anything at all though. :p
