.SWF as a background in a webpage

I need some help with this

http://www.flashden.net/item/random-stripes-background/2480

Someone asked this question and I really don’t know how to do it. Another file of mine is a random background generator, and it would help a lot if I knew how to put those in normal non-flash webpages

So, anyone?

Would it help if I say please? if you read this and don’t know, please say so, because I’m starting to think nobody reads this…

Yes!

You cannot place a swf file as a background in an html file like you do in simple html.

But you can display flash contents on top of the html contents using absolute positioning and you might have seen sites with peel ad effects which is a combination of flash peel effect and javascript with absolute positioning.

As you can place flash content over html text using absolute positioning, so you can also place a flash object behind the html contents.

So to prove my point see the flash menu in the following website ( which I did for my client ): http://www.rikablade.us/07030A/

The drop down flash menu is being show over the html content using absolute positioning with the javascript

hopefully this will help you.

Thanks wes, I checked your link but I don’t think that there is HTML on top of the flash file, because that drop-down menu only exists “on the stage” in the flash file. There is no html on top of it, maybe in the swf itself, but that’s not what I mean. Maybe it just isn’t possible. Or am I missing something here?

Read once again my previous post. I said flash drop down menu is being show over the html content. I have given you much explanations that using the same technique one can display html content over the flash contents.

I read it ten times before i posted my reply, so it’s not like I didn’t read it well enough, but I think I understand now. I don’t have time to figure it all out, it was mainly a question for a future customer. but never mind then. I thought that maybe there was a quick and easy answer to this…
