stacking swf files on top of each other - html

is it possible to load multiple swf files directly on top of each other? I feel like I'm close using divs with different z-indexing, but what about the flash player? Am I wrong in thinking that for each swf there is an individual flash player associated with it? And if that is true, can they be stacked directly on top of each other(on the z-axis)?
thanks for clearing this up for me. I don't want to beat my head against the wall if it is structurally impossible.
to clarify this: you would only be able to see the top swf, but if it were removed, say with swfobject.removeSWF(), there would be another one in the exact same location, but with a lower Z-index

Sure it's possible. See this jsFiddle example.
HTML
<div id="a">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://edmullen.net/flash/relog.swf" width="200" height="200">

<param name="WMode" value="Transparent" />

SWF file on top of another SWF-position

I have a problem on positioning my swf file on top of another swf file. I have tried the solution here:
http://jsfiddle.net/j08691/ezXjx/
<div id="a"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="http://edmullen.net/flash/relog.swf"
width="200" height="200">
<param name="movie" value="http://edmullen.net/flash/relog.swf">
<param name="WMode" value="Transparent">
</object></div>
<div id="b"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="http://edmullen.net/flash/relog.swf"
width="200" height="200">
<param name="movie" value="http://edmullen.net/flash/relog.swf">
<param name="WMode" value="Transparent">
</object></div>
#a {
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
z-index:10;
}
#b {
position:absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;
z-index:20;
}
and I was able to position them on top of each other. The problem is, they are not EXACTLY on top of each other. The other one is slightly on the lower right.
here it is:

i'm a noob in these kind of things.. please help me
the css is invalid. on your example homepage it says:
<style>
#homepage {
the #homepage style is never applied. remove <style>
at the end of the css there are also two </style> closing tags. remove one.

use flash animation as html background

I want to make a webpage with flash background & want to put html contents on it. It is like instead of having any background color or background image i want animation that i have created in flash. Is it possible to make flash as an html background?
yes you can accomplish this. Just have look at this code & made setting according to your needs..
<div style="position:absolute; z-index:1;">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="put width" height="put height">
<param name="movie" value="put your swf file here" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed src="put your swf file here" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="put width" height="put width" wmode="opaque" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
</div>
<div style="position:relative; z-index:2">
<!-- Here you can add your html content -->
ABCD
</div>
</div>
You would need to create an html object element and play the flash file through that.

<object> height ignores parent div height

I have a problem with an flash object. The object is an expanding topbanner, but when retracted, the on mouse over effect still appears on the invisible part of the banner. The code is the following:
<div id="exp_banner" style="width:930px; height:180px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; z-index: 100;">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="test.swf" width="930" height="360">
<param name="movie" value="test.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</div>
I have tried to add a style height to the object with an height of 180px, but then the banner scales down.
make position:relative for parent DIV to make overflow work
and keep wmode="transparent" also to overflow work good for flash object

Issue with video z-index on Windows browsers

Having an issue with overlaying a png on a vimeo video, seem to have it working on all mac browsers but Firefox, Internet Explorer etc. on Windows seem to ignore it and place it behind.
This is the site example, it's the black 'Download Reel' button: http://www.warface.co.uk/clients/detail-shoppe
Many thanks
HTML
<div class="video-block">
<a class="download-reel left">Download Reel</a>
</div>
CSS
.download-reel {
width:139px;
height:32px;
display:block;
top:-5px;
text-indent: -4000px;
z-index: 11;
position: absolute;
}
and the video embed code:
<object width="720" height="405"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11479633&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=15bedc&fullscreen=1" />
<embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11479633&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=15bedc&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="720" height="405">
</embed></object>
By default an object/embed's wmode is "window", meaning it's layered over top of any browser element(s) other than the same elements.
You need to supply a wmode of "opaque" or "transparent", you usually want the latter.
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"> or <embed wmode="transparent"> depending on the element.
Z-index will only work on divs that have been positioned absolute or relative.
Also it sometimes won't work if you use it on the div if the div is nested within another. Try adding z-index and position:relative to the parent div, or the parent of that div.

Add a Link Around an Embedded Flash File

I want to make it so that when I click anywhere on the embedded Flash element, it takes me to a destination URL.
Here is my current code, which does not produce the desired effect:
<div class="contentdiv" style="margin:-72px 0 10px 0px; cursor:pointer;" onclick="location.href='http://example.com/';">
<object height="410" width="720">
<param name="movie" value="images/tri.swf">
<embed src="images/tri.swf" height="400" width="700">
</embed>
</object>
</div>
Right now it is making the space behind the .swf file clickable for the link, but the Flash element is not clickable.
If the right thing to do is to edit the .swf file somehow, please let me know that. I don't consider myself a Flash developer, but are there any resources on where to get started or how to do something this basic with an existing .swf file?
Any suggestions are much appreciated!
I had the same problem, found this thread, but ended up creating my own solution.
I added transparent element to the link, then made it overlap the embeded swf
<a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank">
<object height="410" width="720"><param name="movie" value="http://www.theslap.com/swf/slap_logo.swf">
<embed src="http://www.theslap.com/swf/slap_logo.swf" height="400" width="700"></embed>
</object>
<i style="display:block; height: 410px; width: 720px; position: relative; z-index: 9; margin-top: -410px;"></i>
</a>
Note - you should probably include the css in a separate file for production code.
Update after more research:
This question has been asked before, and the best answer is that you have to create the link within flash.
Usually this is done dynamically by passing a parameter (conventionally named clickTAG) to the .swf to tell it where to link to.
In your case (since someone else provided your swf files) I can see 2 options:
Your .swf author may have already implemented the clickTAG method (you can ask them, or just try it out on the .swf to see if it works.)
You could make a flash wrapper file that implements clickTag, and have it load and display your .swf file. I know this seems like a hack, but I can't see any other alternatives.
Hope this helps!
I've also seen something like this used [edit: but I can't get it to work! Googling suggests that it's not possible]
<a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank">
<object height="410" width="720"><param name="movie" value="images/tri.swf">
<embed src="images/tri.swf" height="400" width="700"></embed>
</object>
</a>
(For example here)
Put a transparent .gif or .png file over the flash using z-index and just anchor that transparent image with your URL.
You could create your own swf (or have someone do it for you) that has a button editable with FlashVars over the stage and that loads in your subject swf underneath that button.
I've created one for you: Download.
You just need to add two FlashVars when you embed it:
url - The URL that will be visited if the swf is clicked.
swf - The swf file to load.
I got mad to solve the issue.... I tried several tricks including jquery and javascript.
Definitely the SOLUTION that works and works in ALL browser is the one above my reply.

There is a best way i've got found

<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>
</div>
.flash-wrap{
position: relative;
}
.flash-link{
position: absolute; top:0px; left:0px;
width:180px; /*Flash Size*/
height:220px;
/*background: url('images/0.gif') no-repeat;*/ /*You should uncommented this line for support old IE version.*/
}

certainly
eliminates the problem in all cases
This worked for me:
<a target="_blank" href="{{ entity.link }}">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="{{ entity.file.path }}?clickTAG={{ entity.link }}" width="120" height="600" style="visibility: visible;">

<param name="LOOP" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="true">
</object>
</a>
Thank You!
now. It worked
<div style="width: 400px; height: 100px;">
<a href="http://www.sample.com" target="_blank">
<object height="100" width="400"><param name="movie" value="1.swf">
<embed src="1.swf" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="400" height="100" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed>
</object>
<i style="display: block; height: 100px; width: 400px; position: relative;z-index: 9;margin-top: -102px;"></i>
</a>
</div>
You can't add a link to a flash object, but you can overlap a transparent image with a link, over the flash object.
This is my example:
<div style="position: relative;">
<div style="position: absolute;
left: 250px;
top: 0px;
z-index: 9999;">
<a href="http://terrazasmedicina.com.ar/hometerrazas.html">
<img src="logoLinkTR.png" width="504" height="103"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','1024','height','106','src','banner','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','banner' ); //end AC code
</script></div>
In my case the object is embeded by a script, but it should work the same.
You have to wrap in a relative div the object and a div with the image, and then position as absolute the div with the image aligning it by left, top, right and bottom properties, and asigning z-index property to overlap the image.
