z-index layers and flash??

Hey guys!


I am designing a website that uses absolutely positioned layers z-indexed over top of each other....thing is, I want to use a flash based header graphic and I am having a hell of time getting it to work! Either the layer order gets messed up or it flickers like crazy (ie5) or it doesn't appear at all!


Any ideas?!?

 

Plug-in content will always take precedence over any other element on the page. So, you can't layer something on top of Flash (or any other plug-in ActiveX control for that matter, like Java or video streams).

If this doesn't describe the problem you're having, could you post a link to the issue?

As for supporting IE5, I think there's a great deal to be said for supporting legacy browsers, but at some point, you have to put your foot down and insist that people update their technology. You're talking about eight-year-old technology right there. Are you supporting NS4.x too? It's the same era

 

LOL... you are right...


here's an example...I think ive gotten it to work with some tricky javascript

let me know how it looks on your machines!

Lovely...except I'm not seeing any Flash on the screen

 

Seems to work here in Firefox 2.x and IE7. At least if it was your intention to have your logo on top of that flash image.
Tell us how you've done it

 

This is how I did it:
