Use the "object" tag instead of embed. It's HTML 4 and supported by both 
IE3+ and NN4+.
I'm not sure of the problem you talk about being also an issue with the 
object tag. But to my litle  knowledge of Flash, if it's intended to be a 
link, it should be created that way on your flash editing tool.

Otherwise, you may want to try to enclose the object in a div and then wrap 
the whole thing in a "a" tag. This is strictly of the top of my head. I 
really never tried that before.

But, I guess, is something you can try at home :)
