Hi,

I know that this question might have a simple enough answer but I have never done this before and would really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me.

I have created a Flash Movie that has dimensions 800 x 600 and would like to use it as a background for my webpage just as you would use an image file as a background. However, I can't seem to be able to figure out how to accomplish this.

Please could someone assist me? Thanks!

Sandy

howdy.

You can export you flash movie as an animated .gif. Then use the .gif as the .html files background image.

You could use layers (the <div/> tag..) see w3.org for more details

Thanks for your replies.....

Cristi, do you think you could show me an example of how you would write the tag? I am a little confused by the line of code you wrote "html / swf = false;" . How would I implement this if I were to use layers?

Guys, Feel free to chip in....any assistence would be appreciated!

Thanks!
