CSS - Flash Background Url?
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? Similar TutorialsPlease look at this page http://www.tmhdesign3.com and this one http://www.tmhdesign3.com/real-estate-broker.asp The first one used a flash file, the second does not. On the first page I want the dropdown navigation to overlay on the flash but it does not. I played with z-index to no success... I have a div with a background color set, that I want to have slightly transparent. Inside that div, is essentially my entire website. Now if I apply the opacity to the main outer div, all the divs inside inherit that transparency. Any ways to get around this? The outer Div with the transparency is the "content_wrapper" div. It excludes the header and footer. So the only issue is correcting everything wrapped inside the "content_wrapper" and "content" div. I tried setting the "content" div to opacity: 1; but it had no effect whatsoever. http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php?about So I have a design where the background is a large (1400x1100) image that fades into a vertical gradient at the edges. I've set up the css as follows: body { background: #000 url(gradient.jpg) repeat-x; margin: 0; } Here's where I run into my problem... I've created an empty DIV to hold the large image which will appear on top of the gradient and positioned it absolutely. <div id="bg_image"></div> #bg_image { width: 100%; height: 1100px; background: url(images/bg_image.jpg) no-repeat top center; margin: 0; position:absolute; } This works and the background looks like it should, however because the large image is inside a DIV, any time the browser window is smaller than that div (which will be the case for most users considering the image size) there will be scrollbars. This makes perfect sense of course I just can't come up with an alternative. If there was a way to extend a background image beyond the borders of a DIV that would work but overflow:visible; doesn't seem to work with background images only content. I wish I could set a repeating background AND a static background in the body style, because that is exactly the effect I'm trying to achieve. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Josh The layout I have going is a bit difficult to explain. Here's a diagram.. The area of importance is the header. The content and main head area are centered. The area to the left and right of the header are a <div>. However, as you can see, the background image on the left is different than the one on the right. I'm having difficulty making this work. the images can be stretched horizontally without a problem, but the two sides must meet in the middle beneath the header. I hope this makes sense. What I've got to do, I think, is tell the background image of the underlying <div> to stretch to 100%, and make this image 300px wide or so including both sides of the image and a split. The split would hide behind the header. I can't find a method to stretch the background image, though. Does anybody know of a better way, or a way to achieve this method at all without getting into completely different layouts? Thanks in advance for any assistance/suggestions. 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 {

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. Hi, Is it possible to place a div on top of a flash animation? When i place it on top of the flash, it dissapears, but shows up on the rest of the page. this is the code i am using: Code: <div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:200px; height:115px; z-index:100; left: 114px; top: 359px; visibility: visible; overflow: visible;"><img src="flap.gif" width="146" height="18"></div> 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? 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! 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 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? hi.. i am totaly new to this and don't know what I'm doing! can anyone help me centre my games with css not with tables? at the momment it looks fine in firefox and ok in some resolutions on internet explorer http://www.free-online-games-player.co.uk/police-chopper-game.html thanks 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? http://www.husbandman.org/2baptist/ 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! Hello css gurus. I'm trying to fit a flash movie with 100% height in a liquid layout but i cant get rid of scroll bars. i have tied to explain the problem in this image: http://i(dot)imgur(dot)com/PhvSZ.gif (sorry new members are not allowed to post with links) in that image you can see its fine in case (1) but in case (2) when i add a header div on top, flash movie doesnt fill available space. Can anyone tell me how can i fix it with a heading div on top? Thanks. Hello, I have a css/javascript drop-down menu (see code) in my website's header. Just below the header area, I have 728x90 Flash banners from various 3rd party ad networks. Depending on the banner, sometimes the drop-down menu properly appears on top of the Flash banner, and other times it drops down behind it, making it unusable. No amount of adjusting the z-index property seems to help. I have no control over the banners since they are served by a 3rd party system. Is there anything I can do to my drop down menu to always make it appear on top of everything, including all Flash content? Thanks! Hi, I have a drop down menu which is appearing under some flash. I have given my flash a div wrapper with a z-index of 1 and give the embed a wmode of transparent. I have given my <ul> and <li>'s a z-index of 1000, but still it appears under the flash in Chrome and IE, Any ideas? Thanks Hello I know how to insert my flash in a regular html page. However I would like to add a flash menu to my CSS. The reason I would like to do this is because I don't want to have to enter the object/embed script into each html page. Can you tell me if this is possible (Flash integration into CSS) Regards |
