CSS - Z-index & Flash File (getting Element To Overlay On Flash)

I am using a basic css layout but i am having a problem when it comes to adding the flash. I need it to stay in the wrapper.here is the code im using
:-


Code:

body {
	background-image: url(bg2.jpg); font: 76% verdana,arial,tahoma,helvetica,"sans serif";
}

* {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}

HTML {
	MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1px; HEIGHT: 100%;
}

#wrapper {
	MARGIN-LEFT: auto; WIDTH: 700px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: left;
}

ul {
margin-top: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 1.1em; line-height: 130%;
}

ul li {
	padding-left: 13px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.15em 1.5em; color: #327EBE;
}

a {
color: #4f9cef; text-decoration: none;
}

a:visited {
	COLOR: #FF9523; TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}

a:hover {
	COLOR: #FF9523; TEXT-DECORATION: none; border-bottom: 1px dotted #7CD300;
}

a:active {
	COLOR: #333333;
}

#img {
padding-bottom: 0px;
}

#nav {
background-image: url(gradientbg.gif); height: 34px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

#navlist li {
	display: block; 
	list-style-type: none;
	padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
    font-weight: bolder;
    float: left;
}

#navlist a {
	text-decoration: none;
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	font-size: 15px;
    padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
    font-weight: bolder;
}

#navlist li a:hover {
background-color:#FFFFFF; padding: 12px 10px 12px 10px;
font-weight: bolder;
}

#navlist a:hover {
	color: #AF9981;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    font-weight: bolder;
}

#col1 {
	float: left; WIDTH: 700px;
}



#col1content P {
	FONT-SIZE: 10pt; Font-family:tahoma, sans-serif; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10px; MARGIN-LEFT: 10px; COLOR: #666666; LINE-HEIGHT: 140%; MARGIN-RIGHT: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: justify;
}

#col1content {
	PADDING-RIGHT: 15px; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; FONT-SIZE: 12px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 15px; COLOR: #333333; PADDING-TOP: 0px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, "Trebuchet MS", Tahoma;
}

#footer {
	CLEAR: both; background-color:#333333; WIDTH: 700px; HEIGHT: 65px; text-align: center; padding-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; BORDER-TOP: #a4d0ed 2px solid;
}

H1 {
	PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; FONT-SIZE: 14px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: #003333; PADDING-TOP: 10px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

H2 {
	PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 15px; FONT-SIZE: 20px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: #b4aa9e; PADDING-TOP: 10px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

H3 {
	FONT-SIZE: 20px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 25px; COLOR: #b4aa9e; PADDING-TOP: 25px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-left: 13px;
}

#footer P {
	PADDING-LEFT: 15px; FONT-SIZE: 0.8em; PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px; COLOR: #71AB6B; PADDING-TOP: 10px; text-align: center;
}

#footer a {
	COLOR: #00cc00; text-align: center; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px;
}

#copyright {
font-size: 0.9em; color: #FFFFFF; padding-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 7px;
}

#contentterms {
font-size: 0.8em; color: #FFFFFF;
}

It is when i add the css that it doesnt work the way it should.

How would I put the flash into column one without it messing up?

The size of the flash is the same width as the column and wrapper.

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've been looking around for hours now, and I can't find a way to get rid of a slight gap to the left of my flash nav bar (which is inserted in a nested div). Everything is centered and verticaly fluid.

code for flash div= #flash {
vertical-align: top;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 111px;
width: 875px;
}

code for centercol div= #centerCol {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0px;
width: 875px;
background-color: #ffffff;
height: 100%;
background:url(top_04.jpg) repeat;
}

html for embeding= <div id="centerCol">
<div id="flash"><OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" id="top_bar" ALIGN="center">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="top_bar.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=scale VALUE=exactfit> <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=opaque> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="top_bar.swf" quality=high scale=exactfit wmode=opaque bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" NAME="top_bar" ALIGN="center"
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
</OBJECT></div>
some content
</div>

Thanks.

Is there a way to set a flash movie as the background image of a div?

Any suggestion how to accomplish this if it's not possible?

Well I'm using a dropdown menu type of thing off of dynamicdrive.com... well everything seems good except i can't get the drop down menu to show over the flash image that is directly below, it always get's hidden below it. You can see what i'm talking about by going to http://www.upbeetmusic.com/test/template.htm and putting your mouse over where it says features in the nav bar. View the source and you'll see i even tried puttin gthe flash element in a div tag and changing the z-index, and still no luck. Any suggestions?

Ive been trying to make this site for a friend,
http://www.force-g.net/nathan/mainpage.html
he wants a specific design so I made it with flash. The problem is useless with flash and thats as far as I can get. Can anyone give me a hand or some hints on how I could replicate this design with html and css. Would I have to use frames or can I divide the page with css? Or should I just stick to the flash design I have already?

Hi,
I have a flash movie which it sppaearing on top of a drop down menu. I do not have access to the <object tag so I cannot add a wmode tag. Is there a way I can get the drop down menu to appear on top using just css?

Thanks!

I have three Flash Movies (contained in one DIV with a fixed width of 600px and height of 415px) on my XHTML page, one above the other. They look fine in IE and Netscape but in FireFox for some reason it leaves a gap between the movies which I haven't asked for. I'm sure it is just a simple something I am missing in the CSS, any ideas?

Hello! I have a flash header and I'm wondering how to make an img (jpg/png) overlap a flash header? It seems that the flash keeps covering my img when i use positionsomething)

Thanks!

If i create a flash like button using CSS, does anyone know if it's cross compatible with all browsers? Or, has anyone already tried this and found it more trouble than it's worth?

I have some drop-down menus that are hidden behind a flash movie. I have set the z-index way up to 6 on them, but they still stay hidden. Anybody have any ideas?

I have a site with a menu that works perfectly in every single browser except IE6. Instead of the menu going over top of the flash, it enlarges the menu bar and just displays within that. I've tried SWFObject, as well as wmode=transparent and opaque for the flash movie, and they work great for all browsers other than IE6.

Does anyone know a fix for this?

Morning!

I've got a page which is displaying a flash of unscripted content before it shows the full CSS - I know there's a way round this, but I'm stuffed if I can figure it out, or find it on Google.

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Spooks

I have a flash that is embeded inside a div. however, I only want to show the upper right corner first, when user mouse over, the div will expand.

This works good in Firefox and chrome, but not in IE

I put the flash to align to the right, but IE keep it in the left, and keep showing the upper left corner instead of upper right.

Please help.. thanks

Hello,

I'm having difficulty with a new dropdown menu. It is appearing below a flash movie. I've added a z-index to the div elements on the page, yet is still not helping in the case of the SWF file.

I've applied relative positioning and a z-index value lower than the dropdown.

The changes are not on a public web server at the moment, so its not easy for me to post exactly what is going on with the page. However, if anyone has run into an similar obstacles and has some suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
