Taking this concept a bit further.... Images can serve as backgrounds what about flash movies?

e.g.

#banner {
color: #E5E7B1;
font-family: georgia, verdana, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: x-large;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 15px 15px 5px 15px;
background-image: url(http://karmakars.com/weblog/i/twig_head_red.jpg);
position: relative;
height: 92px;
text-align: left;
}

I use this on my weblog banner at http://www.karmakars.com/

If flash could go in as a background-image: property wouldnt it be nice

what I mean is

background-image: url(http://karmakars.com/weblog/i/something_flashy.swf);

Unfortunately this doesnt work!

Any work around to this?

The reason I insist on having the .swf as a background is then I can use text in the #banner space.

Ofcourse one option rightaway is to produce the .fla file and export it as animated gif but wouldn't work well for good quality images!!

Thanks everyone. Why can’t macromedia make flash validate grr!

I did this using satay method but not messing with the flash code as the flash is not done by me. Seeing that it is only news and won’t take a long time to load by IE, hmmm I could cheat a lil?

<object

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data=""

width="126" height="272">

</object>

Will this work across browsers? SO far I see it working on WIN – IE5.01+, Firefox, Opera 7

Best Wishes,
Jaime .......

Jaime - there's been a lot of discussion about this issue. I'm currently using a method referred to as the 'Flash Satay' method. There are several other methods (sorry - can't locate URLs just not). All have their ups and downs. ALA discussed satay here:

Subject: [WSG] Making Flash Codes validate

Hello everyone

I am facing some validation issues (XHTML 1.0 Transitional) with the following flash object codes:

<OBJECT classid=""

codebase=""

WIDTH=126 HEIGHT=272>

</OBJECT>

It’s the 1^st time I am adding some flash content so am unsure of what’s right or wrong.

The demo page can be found here http://designs.sodesires.com/scs/

Any pointers will be great. Thanks.

Best Wishes,
Jaime .......
