Put links over a Flash object?

[susaninphoenix]

Is it possible to use Dreamweaver, maybe an apDiv or some other way to put text links over a flash movie?

Thanks,

Susan

Well, it's certainly possible to do so in HTML. Since Dreamweaver in theory is a code editor, you should be able to do so.

The key is to use z-index and non-static positioning to achieve that goal.

I think I tried that.

I put the flash into an apDiv and positioned my text links in another apDiv, but they don't show up over the flash...

I also made the z-index larger for the links, and lower for the flash object.

See it here: http://ourtrustisingod.com/flash/

I positioned it only halfway over the flash just above the Three-Day Intensives link, and you can see how only half of it shows - the part not over the flash.

Any ideas?

Really appreciate the help!!

Try this:

<embed wmode="transparent" src="../images/BannerAnimation.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="800" height="126">

Good luck!
