Can I create a Flash movie, with sound, and set it as my background for my site? I don't want this flash movie to be the body background, but in a cell. If somone knows a code for that, do tell.
, thanx Nickmealey

Why would you need to do this? Just create the entire content within the flash movie and put that in the cell, background content and all.

In short I know of no way to do this.

Even if you could, it isn't that great of an idea. Things would load much to slow, unless it was on your frontpage, which is a different story.

The most famous/used program to make flash websites is Macromedia Flash by Macromedia, you can download a trial version here - http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/

But you can build links into a flash animation. I still don't see any advantage to what you want to do.

My best guess who to be to take a screenshot of the flash background, then save it as a jpeg file, then use html to make the background appear on the cell, then, grab the audio you need, and add that in onto your HTML page.

Flash Movie As Background?

Hi iguest,

Really nice effect and I appreciate the fact that you are willing to share. A small question if I may? Do you think we could have buttons that are clickable in this background image? I am interested in using a CMS to ensureeasy content upload for the clients, and at the same have a small flash animation in a corner, which I would like to have clickable spots. Since this animation should appear on all pages, it would be nice if I could use this as the background...Hence my question.

Would appreciate any tips.

Thanks and regards

Jaya

yes it can be done
Flash Movie As Background?

Yes of course it can be done :)

 I recently did one for a client here ...

 http://www.Thesquarefestival.Com/

 It takes the best of both worlds, using a CMS , worpress blog for SEO of content, and then add a little flash for spice ;)

 View the source if it helps you figure it out.

Flash Movie As Background? - - Is it possible?
Flash Movie As Background?

yes, it is possible.

the way you do it is through css layers. With css you can specify content to be on different 'layers' and those layers can overlap.

so, publish your flash project as per normal, then in the html code of your page,

if you want you can set your flash file's background to transparent, that would be good. Just add a new parameter to the flash object code in your HTML document:

<param name = "wmode" value="transparent"/>

then again in your embed tag:
<embed src="1.Swf" width="500" height="400" quality="high" wmode="transparent">

keep in mind that setting your flash movie to transparent requires more video processing power, so users with slower computers may have problems with it. Personally I'd just live with the white box. It would only be there for a fraction of a second (make sure when you publish your flash file you publish it to load "top - down" otherwise the white box will stay there until your entire movie's loaded.

ok after that

<div id="layer" style="position:absolute; width:'100%'; height:'100%'; z-index:100; left: 1px; top: 1px">

content goes here including tables, images, all sorts etc

</div>


Of course, you'd want to publish your flash project with the settings 'exactfit', 100% width and 100% height. To fill the screen completely. And then, to make the flash project extend to the margins of the page change the <body> tag to include these bits:

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">

the only issue is with mac os 9 or earlier, where you get the content overtop and the flash layer below madly fighting it out. but in newer ver. It's working fine.

Flash Movie As Background?

Hi, Just wanna drop a thanks to iGuest. I've tried your suggestions and it work for me... However another issue arise in 'Internet Explorer' [[works perfectly fine in Firefox]], I have flash buttons (within a Div) for navigation above this flash movie that become not functioning (links as well as the mouseover effects)... It would be great if someone can give me some advice here...
