I'm pretty much a beginner at flash, I know the basics and a little bit of actionscripting. Recently I've seen a Flash website that had a iframe in the middle of it (not appart of the flash). Sorry I lost the link so I have no example to show you. Can someone please tell me how this is done?

One way is to build flash pieces in a table surrounding it.

Like a table that's 3X3, has the iframe in the middle, and flash in the other 8 surrounding cells.

this could be done with a layer floating over a flash movie. it could be done with several flash movies surrounding the iframe. but you could also have a text area in flash that can load html into, it could look like an iframe when it's not. i'm sure there could be other ways to accomplish this.
would help immensely if you had the example.

I tried finding the site again but I couldn't, sorry. They probably made a table with many flash movies surrounding it as you both said.

Ace, can the floating layer be done by using HTML coding? I never heard of that before.

You can do it using Layers, or DIV tags.
In Dreamweaver, Insert ->Layer, then just position it where you want it.

just analyse this code, and change it accordingly. the div tag is the layer that will float over the flash movie which is embedded in the page with the object tag.


<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:222px; height:288px; z-index:1; left: 146px; top: 113px;">
<iframe width="222" height="288" src="http://www.google.com">test iframe</iframe>
</div>


<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="500" height="500">
