I want to make a moving background using flash. Just a cople of movies looping continuously. Then I would like to use this swf as a background to a table on my webpage. Can this be done?
Thanks,
t

In my experience, the only way Flash can be inserted into a HTML page is to have it as either an EMBED or an OBJECT element. Flash also seems to write its own video directly to the web page - that's why I've never been able to get DHTML objects to show over the top.
Sorry!

You probably know this, Simon, but you can get DHTML to show over the top on PCs using
[param name=WMODE value=transparent]
It seems to also work on OSX with Flash6 as well.

Nope, but I do now. Cheers!
How cross-compatible with browsers/platforms is this command?

Try using a animated GIF. The filesize may be larger but it will work as a table background where as a SWF file won't.
Take note that table backgrounds are not HTML 4.01 transitional. IE browsers are lax in HTML compliance and will probably load the page fine but pre-Netscape 6.0 browsers will not.

Only IE 5+ on windows i'm afraid. Although OSX IE with Flash 6 *seems* to support it

You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Well, this is what I have done so far:
<object width="100" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="pages/indeximages/newmenu.sw">
<embed src="pages/indeximages/newmenu.swf" width="100" height="400">
</embed>
</object>
which is OK for now...but how can I make this a table background? What I would like to is to make a table with animated background, and still be able to enter text over it. Is that possible? I do not want to use an animated gif file, because my animation is a little more complex than the one on Millenium's link.
Thank you,
t
