Layers on top of Flash are possible
26.05.2005
Here I go with a trechy one. That's something that is not very easy to find on Internet, so if anyone needs that in the future here is the explanation. If you work on the web sector probably you had the problem at some point of flash on the top of the page. I mean, probably you wanted to have another layer (menu navigations for example) on the top of flash but that wasn't working. After some workarounds on the design I decided to do a bit of research. And this time I found a way to do it. <div>   <div id="flash" style="position:absolute; z-index:0;">     YOUR FLASH OBJECT GOES HERE   </div>   <div id="layerOnTop" style="position:absolute; display:block; z-index:1;">     TEXT ON TOP OF FLASH   </div> </div> So as you can see you need to have the layers with position:absolute and then sort the layers with the z-index property. Also you will have to add the <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> in the flash object code. TADAAAA!!

AFAIK, that will make -a lot- of flickering with some cards (or at least, it did on earlier versions of Flash).

Will have to test it with modern versions of browsers/shockwave add-ins.

you'll need to also add wmode="transparent" as a part of the tag otherwise it won't work :)
