Hi all.

I'm using a flash slideshow as a background to a div, which means that instead of just putting a simple image as a div background I've had to create two divs. And now I'm trying to put one on top of the other, but everything I try yields the same results. The div that I want to have on top just gets pushed down by the image slideshow since it's not a background.

Here's what I'm working with:

Any ideas how I can make this work?

flah objects will ALWAYS be the "topmost" element unless you set "transparent" mode.

So should adding this to the object parameters do the trick?

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

Did you try it? It'd take the same amount of time to test that code as it will to reply asking if it works.

Haha yes I see your point. I did try it but it's still not working. Here's the code for the object if it's gonna help anyone see what I could be doing:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="500" height="80" id="imagefader">
                <param name="movie" value="http://scv.everythingiseconomics.com/wp-content/plugins/flashfader.swf" />
                <!--[if !IE]>-->
                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://scv.everythingiseconomics.com/wp-content/plugins/flashfader.swf" width="500" height="80">
<param name="FlashVars" value="path2xml=http://scv.everythingiseconomics.com/wp-content/flashfader/images.xml" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
                <!--<![endif]-->
                    <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
                        <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
                    </a>
                <!--[if !IE]>-->
                </object>
                <!--<![endif]-->
            </object>

Just take a look at what it looks like too. The site is in the first post.

Never mind guys, I've decided to just do it a different, far less complicated way. Cheers anyway!
