How do these flash buttons work!

I'm updating on a web page for a client and I feel like an idiot because
I can't figure out how some flash buttons on the main page work! I'm not
an expert at FrontPage but I'm not new either, I also have experience
with Dreamweaver and Flash.

The web page is www.detteandco.com and the buttons are on the left side
of the main page. I can't find any kind of link in the pages so I'm
thinking that the code is in the original Flash file which I don't have
access to so I will have to recreate them. I'm just trying to make sure
that I'm not missing something here.

Thanx, Dave.

I don't see any buttons
- but they are flash from the code like

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="100" height="20">
<param name="movie" value="button2.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FF33CC">
<embed src="button2.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="20" bgcolor="#FF33CC"></embed>
</object>

That's a MS Word created page w/ lot of junk (preventing page rendering correctly) and bad html like:

<body bgcolor=white background="http://www.detteandco.com/images/bg1.jpg"
lang=EN-US link=blue vlink=blue style='tab-interval:.5in' width=800 height=600>
<div class=Section1>
<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=944 style='width:708.0pt;
mso-cellspacing:0in;mso-padding-alt:0in 0in 0in 0in'>
<tr style='height:24.0pt'>
<td width=11 style='width:8.25pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;height:24.0pt'>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o></o></p>
</td>

Delete the style='tab-interval:.5in' width=800 height=600 from the body tag
Delete all the MSO inline styles starting w/ style=

could you add them in a <parameter> tag (or similar) like you would with java
applets.
there has to be some way you could configure them without the need to have flash
to edit and add the hyperlinks.

eg minimum parameter would be like an <a href> tag.
others might include 'open in new window' or setting the target of the
frame/window etc. I don't know....just guessing here.

I'd remove those buttons - they made my IE 6.0 crash!
