Place Flash over HTML

Posted 10 April 2002 - 04:16 AM

Hi there,

I would need to place a Flash movie (menu) over standard HTML code.  Is this possible?  I tried to put the movie in a layer, but this doesn't seem to work.  Is there any way or do I have to say bye bye Flash for this task?

Thanks for any advice!

Best regards ASchweti

OK, sorry I explain a little closer.  The pages will be programmed in PHP (so actually HTML and PHP does the database stuff).

I do have text that comes from the database.  I would need to place the movie on top of this text, means the movie is transparent and if you use the movie, the flash menu goes over the text.  Something you would do in DHTML with the layer technique.

So is this possible? I tries to put the flash movie in a layer but I could get it to work?!

Thank you so much for your help,...

Still not sure you got what I mean.  Does anybody know CoolMenus on http://www.dhtmlcentral.com/?  I need to do the same with flash and the dropdown should go over the content.  Don't know how else I should explain it?!

OK, last try!  I will do a menu using flash, no problem there.  I will embed the menu on an HTML page. Underneith this menu (flash) I need to place text (no flash). So usually I would use layers in order to place on object (the flash movie) on top of the other object (the text). But placing a flash movie in a layer doens't seem to work.

Abou the reason.  I am doing a site using both flash elements and PHP.  I don't wnat to loose the space of the dropdown menu when it is not in use.  So I would like to keep that part of the flash movie transparent and have some text (PHP) underneith.

Got it. So just tell me it's not possible and I will be (un)happy...
