.swf as background images in table?

[raulwg]

Hi there,

Is it possible to put a .swf file as a table background image? Or is it only supported for .jpg and .gif?

<table width="780" align="center" bgcolor="#6F732D" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" background="images/test.swf">

Greetings, Raśl

Unfortunately swf files need to be embedded as an object within a page, and therefore cannot be used as a background element. I assume you are trying to place text over the top of your swf, this is not possible your best bet would be to include everything you need in your swf, as layers cannot even be floated over swf objects.

Actually, that's not true. It is possible to position elements on top of a flash object. Simply set the window mode to transparent.

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
