ANSWER: Hi Ilan,
there's now way you can export into swf from imageready as of now.

Only method i know of is, export it as a gif animation in image ready.
And then import that into flash and do the linking.

Answer
Hi Ilan,
Let me help you with flash too, if i may,

First make the symbol into a 'button', if it has to be animated then you can use the animated movie clip in the 'up' state.

Then right click on the button and choose actions.
Use 'script assist' for ease of use, click on '+' symbol select Global Functions>Browser/Network>getURL

beside 'URL:' type in the path of the link.
you also have an option of defining the target at 'window:'

Please let me know if anything to be explained in-detail.
