Z-Index and Flash?

[SeiferTim]

Is it possible to put a flash movie on an HTML page, and z-index an image to appear on top of the flash movie?
I've been working on this for a while, and I just end up with the image always appearing behind the flash movie...:rambo:

I think you could do it with DHTML layers, but I'm not entirely sure. I would google it though. Good luck.

I've tried using Layers, and Divs, and anything else I can think of, but it seems as if the Flash SWF is displayed on top of anything else on the page.... has anyone else seen this problem?

impossible, sadly :-\. That's why the QuickEdit thingy goes below Flash footers...

EDIT: Actually, I think it might be possible! This from a search of Macromedia:



The windowless mode feature can be invoked or affected by a Flash or HTML developer in the following ways:
- setting the wmode parameter in the object or embed tag
- setting the HTML Window Mode option in the Publish Settings HTML tab in the Flash Authoring tool
- setting the z-index or the style settings to layer a DIV on top of the plug-in using Cascading Style Sheets

Any luck with the layer on top of flash, trying to implement the same thing myself.

Please let us know if you got it working. :beer:

Tried it and it works but it just slows down flash and makes it jumpy..
