probably the swf is using absolute positioning which means it has a fixed position

**infinit1** · 05-02-2005, 01:13 PM

how do i check to see if that is the problem in flash thank you.

**chrishirst** · 05-02-2005, 03:42 PM

Take a look at the HTML code to see how it is positioned.

**infinit1** · 05-02-2005, 07:40 PM

this is what i have on the code

<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:124px; top:82px; width:748px; height:183px; z-index:1">

well there you are then!

use position:relative to allow it to move around in the document flow.

Looks fine to me - IE and Firefox

**chrishirst** · 05-12-2005, 03:39 AM

I'm must be missing something here, Nothing on those pages resizes or moves. Everything is in fixed positions.

**infinit1** · 05-12-2005, 05:00 PM

how can i fix that so when ever i make a layer and ad images or swfs and then stretch the browser window it wont stay still it will move along with other backgrounds i hope you understand me thanks

**chrishirst** · 05-12-2005, 05:14 PM

as I posted earlier you use relative positioning rather than absolute

**infinit1** · 05-12-2005, 05:49 PM

sorry about this but can you show me step by step how to change it in dreamweaver or flash sorry for the asking so much

**chrishirst** · 05-12-2005, 06:12 PM

If you are asking about the design window, I have absolutely no idea. I've never used it.

in the code it's simply a matter of typing it in

so with your example

Code:

<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:124px; top:82px; width:748px; height:183px; z-index:1">

would become

Code:

<div id="Layer1" style="position:relative;width:748px; height:183px; z-index:1">

You could add a float to the style depending on your exact layout.

i did what you told me to do but still the swf file wont move when i move the whole page i have that problem with onother site to i put a layer on top of the image where i want to put type or an image and when i new it on the browser the layers wont flow with the back ground or the type sorry again maybe my settings on the page are wrong.

**chrishirst** · 05-12-2005, 06:31 PM

a url would be best

**infinit1** · 05-12-2005, 09:11 PM

hey was up sorry for the delay the link is http://www.infinitgraphics.i8.com/home.html

**chrishirst** · 05-13-2005, 04:07 AM

just take out the position:absolute.

**infinit1** · 05-13-2005, 11:15 AM

hey was up so you checked it out i took out the position:absolute, from the code but it goes to the right it flows with the site but its not where i want the type to stay maybe its my settings on the page properties the settings are
left margin:0 , top margin:0 , margin width:0 , margin height:0 the image its
inside a table and its center does this effect the way it displays thanks bro.
