Hi,
I have inserted a flash movie into my dreamweaver page and have link layers over the top, but when I launch this page and have a look in a browser the Flash movie covers up those link layers.
Please could someone tell me how to make sure the Flash movie is behind these other layers.
Many thanks for all help given.
 
Code:
:) paste code here

If i remember correctly Flash movies will always play IN FRONT of any other content on the page.

Why not put the links IN the Flash movie?
 
or under it? [neutral]

Here is the HTML code.
I have done it before and I found the answer on here but now I can't find it!
Any help would be greatfully received. Cheers

<div id=&quot;Layer4&quot; style=&quot;position:absolute; left:192px; top:161px; width:137px; height:169px; z-index:0&quot;>
<object classid=&quot;clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot; codebase=&quot; width=&quot;367&quot; height=&quot;243&quot;>
<param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;Flash/front%20page%20text.swf&quot;>
<param name=&quot;quality&quot; value=&quot;high&quot;>
<embed src=&quot;Flash/front%20page%20text.swf&quot; quality=&quot;high&quot; pluginspage=&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;367&quot; height=&quot;243&quot;></embed></object>

HI!
suggestion: why not make these links on the Flash movie itself.....the images are used for maps only (so it seems)....I can't load page (movies) locally so I can't test it...do u have an URL?
All the best!
