[SWFObject] How to make a background flash with master pages

Tue, 04 May 2010 20:44:28 -0700 

I'm not grokking swfobject 2.0 at all.  I have a flash movie I want to
be the background, and my content on top of it.  An example of what I
want using the old swfobject and no master pages is at 
http://www.rainbowandwish.com.
If you look at this website I have scrolling text in the center.
That's not showing at all with the below code.

What I'm getting with the new swfobject is the content either on top,
then the flash, or the flash and then the content at the bottom.

Also, nowhere is it explained how you come up with the id and name
attributes, so I just made something up.  And, is there any
documentation of ALL the possible param, attribute, and flashvars
possibilities, with explanations?

Here's my real simple code so far:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="head" runat="server">
    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="~/CSS/Styles.css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Javascript/swfobject.js"></
script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        var flashvars = {};
        var params = {};
        params.menu = "false";
        params.wmode = "transparent";
        params.allowfullscreen = "false";
        var attributes = {};
        attributes.id = "BackgroundFlash";
        attributes.name = "BackgroundFlash";

        swfobject.embedSWF("RainbowWishBackgroundText.swf",
"Background", "100%", "860", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars,
params, attributes);
    </script>

</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:Label ID="lblTest" runat="server" Text="HELLO WORLD"></
asp:Label>

        <div>
            <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="cntBody" runat="server">

            </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
        </div>
        <div id="Background"></div>
    </div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

#Background is defined in my style sheet as:

#Background
{
   position: absolute;
   top: 0px;
   left: 0px;
   width: 100%;
   height: 870px;
   border-style: none;
   margin: 0px;
   padding: 0px;
   text-align: center;
}


Thanks!!!
