Hi!

well, i'm trying to put a 250px wide SWF file floating on the right side of a 640x480 window...

The 640x480 window is a <div> tag and contains additional content in <div> columns: 150x480, 320x480, and another 150x480... The first column is floated left, the second column is centered, and the third column is floated right. The SWF file is just placed OVER the right and part of the middle column.

I thought the SWF needs to be a position:absolute tag to overlap the other columns' content with the z-index tag...but to do that it needs exact coordinates for placement, right? Problem is the website needs to be centered on the page, and his coordinates will need to shift according to window size. I mean, he needs to stay on the right side of the <div> window he's set inside, regardless where that window moves to.

Also, when the SWF file is loaded on top of other buttons, the buttons behind the SWF are inoperative. Is there a way to unload the SWF file from the screen after it's animation is complete, or is this a flash question?

Thanks greatly in advance!

Make sure the window mode is set to "windowless transparent" and wmode is set to transparent in the parameters.

You should be able to position the flash div with position: relative and setting it so it stays on the right side ie. right: 0;. However, you must also make sure that the container surrounding it is also set to position:relative.

Right, I have the wmode set to transparent for the SWF, but the window it still creates for itself doesn't allow for interaction below it...

I'm attempting to have a SWF that's the width of the 640x480 div, play an animation that runs across the screen one, and then is gone. If the SWF remains, even with a transparent window, content behind it is inoperative... But i think there might be a way in Flash to unload the movie from wherever it's at, once it's played through.

Thanks for your help!!!
