.swf file as HTML table background

bubberz · #1 (**permalink**) Jun 18th, 2007, 19:31

My goal is to have this BG.swf file as the background for an HTML table which I'll then put some context over the BG.swf background.....if possible.
Here's my HTML so far:
<body>

Code: Select all

<table width="780px" height="96px" background="BG.swf">
<TR>
<TD>
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','780','height','96','src','BG','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','BG','wmode','transparent' ); //end AC code
</script>
<noscript>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...rsion=9,0,28,0" width="780" height="96">
<param name="movie" value="BG.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="SCALE" value="noborder"> 
<embed src="BG.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...ShockwaveFlash" 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="780" height="96" wmode="transparent" scale="noborder" align="top"></embed>
</object>
</noscript>
</TD>
</TR>
</table>
</body>

**********************************************
**********************************************
I actually need this above table to have the BG.swf file as the background if possible and this below table as the text:

Code: Select all

<table width="780" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="40" border="0" align="center">
<tr> 
<td bgcolor="#C89292" height="24" class="text" align="center">Club Text:<br/>
<table width="100%" border="0" summary="All of our great sponsors!">
<caption>
<span class="style4">Please visit our great sponsors: </span>
</caption>
<tr>
<td>Sponsor 1</td>
<td>Sponsor 2</td>
<td>Sponsor 3</td>
<td>Sponsor 4</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks!

Whats the problem with it? Do you have this up on line so i can see what this looks like....

bubberz · #3 (**permalink**) Jun 18th, 2007, 19:46

the problem is that if I try to put any text over the background, the background ends up being at the top of the table, and the text underneath. I can't get the text to over-lay the BG.swf file.

I would not recommend using tables, try and use css gives you more control.

Then you can possible have some text float over the top.

Not sure if you know css.

Yep I don't know if this is possible using tables. I know you can do it through .css. Use layers to postion your .swf, text etc.

I'd recommend checking out the CSS forums here to see what they have to say.

I'm pretty familiar with .css, but couldn't figure out how to get the DIV tag's background attribute to the <Object> value.

Sgaspar11,

The Z-Indexes are getting me closer.

Thanks!

Thos'll be the ones you want to use.

I wish I was at home right now, I could upload an example and you'd have it done in a few minutes.

At work for another 6 hours though. LONG DAYS this week....bleh.

Thanks!

I'll try to send you the link when I'm done!

I would be interested in seeing what the css would look like, and also what your site will look like...
