You need to put blank frames on the layers you don't want to show up at different times. So at each frame, clear the frames you don't want to show at that time.
Making an image a link:
<p><a href="URL path to zipped file" title="Mouseover Description"><img style="width: XXpx; height: YYpx; border: 0;" src="Path to image" alt="Text Description"></a></p>
You can change the "p" tags to div tags and style as needed.
Or…
Between the head tags:
<style type="text/css">
#logolink {
display: block;
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background-image: url(Path to your header image) no-repeat center scroll;
}
#bglink span {
display: none;
}
</style>
HTML:
<p><a id="logolink" href="http://whatever" title="Mouseover Description"></a></p><p><a id="bglink" href="#"><span>Click my logo</span></a></p>
