Dreamweaver Layer OVER Fash File problem...

[gazzip]

Hi, hoping someone can offer some advice on the following.

I'v just figured out tonight how to do layers in dreamweaver but I can't get the layer to show on top of the flash (.swf) image file. It works fine over a jpeg but not flash.

I did a quick google search and found out that flash files always show ontop of DHTML layers but there is a work around suggested but I can't get it to work.

It said something like use the WMODE parameter to change to transparent but I can't find where to do that in Dreamweaver.

Its pretty critical to my page design so does anyone here know where it is or how I can do that ?
(in laymans terms as I'm not a coder)

Many thanks :tu:

.......UPDATE.................................................

Its ok, got it figured out after more google searching, found this article but I had to do it manually.

Follow the steps below, and Dreamweaver will insert the correct HTML code automatically.

1. In Dreamweaver, insert the Flash movie into an HTML page.
2. Select the Flash movie in the Design View.
3. In the Properties panel, choose Parameters.
4. For the Parameter, enter "wmode" (without quotes). For the Value, enter "transparent".
5. Save the document. The HTML page is complete.


Editing HTML code manually

To edit an existing HTML page, add the WMODE parameters to the HTML code.

1. Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

2. Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:

wmode="transparent"


.......Nice, I've been wanting it get that done for ages ...chuffed !


Thanks anyway.
