Subject: FLASH: layering
From: Kelly, Michael

G'day,

I've used a bit of dhtml in the past and am now moving into flash (as it
seems like the way to go), but sometimes the positioning ability of chtml
can come in handy. I have a page already completed and being used but the
boss would like to see some flash in there to show the users we're doing
something flashy. He thought we could put an image like a background behind
what we already have (as space is limited). So i created a simple swf which
has a light grey and white world map scrolling across and we would like it
to appear behind everything else which is written in html.
i put the flash object in a div with z-index 0 and the rest in a div with
z-index 100 and flash inists on being on top. Do you know if what i'm trying
to do is feasible? Here is the code...

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" bottommargin="0" rightmargin="0">
<div style="z-index: 0; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width:
100%; height: 100%;" align="center">

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0
,0" ID="map"
WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%">
<param name="movie" value="map.swf">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed src="map.swf" menu="false"
quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" WIDTH="100%"
HEIGHT="100%" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_
Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</object>
</div>

<div align="center"
style="z-index: 100; position: absolute; top: 200px; left: 0px; width: 100%;
font-size: 30px; font-family: verdana;">
THIS IS JUST A TEST PAGE!!!
</div>
</body>

Thanks
Mick Kelly
