Hi,
I have a flash site inserted into a DW page its centered in the middle of the table and was wondering how i can make the layers i have put on the page move with the flash movie - its hard to explain what i tryin to say but if u check out and resize the window either bigger or smaller u will see what i mean.

go to
and download their snap layers extension, Then just anchor your other layers to the flash movie.

this extension is an essential tool that i use when using layers! [Hammer]

deecee,
thanks i got the extension but i am having alot of trouble tryin to get my layers to 'snap' to the flash movie. Either the layer wont allow the behaviour or the flash movie doesnt show up as a snappable item in the window - how do i do this or is there any other way to do this (PS I have also tried mxjunkies advice to with the same results) I havent used extensions b4 so am new to this.
Thanks

you need to give the flash an id

<embed ... id=&quot;flash&quot;>

then you would use flash as the object to snap,,,remembe tho nothing can go over a flash movie! [Hammer]
