z-index is irrelevant when embedding SWFs because Flash Player doesn't play by the same rules as HTML elements. look at the example file for that tutorial <http://demos.learnswfobject.com/html-over-swf/dynamic.html>, and you'll see that regardless of what z-index is specified, the SWF is always placed in the same spot in the stack.
the important parts, as covered in the tutorial, are that wmode is set to either opaque or transparent, and that your CSS has been set up with position: relative (it must be specified on the parent element of whatever you're trying to embed, too). - philip On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 8:20 AM, PT <[email protected]> wrote: > Also, this page didn't really help me as one new to this either, for > the reason that it doesn't describe how it integrates with z-indexing > and where in the HTML it is relevant viz. the top-layered elements: > > > http://learnswfobject.com/advanced-topics/placing-html-elements-over-a-flash-movie/ > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "SWFObject" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<swfobject%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/swfobject?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SWFObject" group.
