Afternoon!
Does anyone know how i can add an swf to my layout so as it has a transparent background (ie see the html underneath) and will cover two divs (left and right) and retains it's relative position on the layout?
Does that make sense? I want my flash to sit above the layout and play over it?
Any pointers? Tuts? or hacks?
;)

you'll be hard pressed to make it work cross-browser.

we had huge troubles getting this nav to work over all browsers, and it still doesn't in safari, and requires a javascript hack to get it to work in IE. only one it works flawlessly in is FF.

You can use javascript to place the flash. THat will do the trick.

what is the java I should use?
Would that work cross browser?

that tutorial shows how to put flash below everything but i'm sure you can tweak it to put flash on top. again i don't think there will be any way to make this super dependable cross browser/platform, especially if you need to interact with html elements below the flash. you may want to go one way or the other (flash v html)

Do you need to be able to interact with the html underneath or just see it?
