MurraySummers Jul 10, 2013 9:06 AM (in response to soliver481)If you really are talking about a background image, you cannot do that with a SWF file.

soliver481 Jul 10, 2013 9:08 AM (in response to MurraySummers)Ok so the background image is out.
Any suggestions on why the flash file isn't working when previewed? And keeping it in the same position as if it were a background image.

Without actually seeing your page and the code underlying the visual rendering, we can only guess what mistake you may have made. Can you upload the page and its dependent files and give us a link?

soliver481 Jul 10, 2013 9:25 AM (in response to MurraySummers)sure. The current/live site is http://www.sistercirclemedina.com you will see the static image (header_11_01.jpg). I added the revised homepage (index.html) to my site you can find that at http://www.481gddr.com/sistercircle/index.html Thank you so much for your assistance and time.

hans-g. Jul 10, 2013 11:13 AM (in response to soliver481)Hello oliver(?),
using your source code in my DW I got these messages:
what means something like: "With the current document encoding can not be stored correctly all characters in the document. It is recommended to change the encoding in UΤF-8 or another format that supports the special characters in this document."
and:
what means:
"Copy Dependent Files:
On this page and an object behavior is used which requires supporting files. The following files have been copied to your Iokale page. You have to upload these files to the server, so that the object or behavior does operate properly.
Scipts / expressInstall.swf
Scipts / swfobject_modified.js"
Please control whether you have uploaded all the necessary files and maybe the coding.
Good luck!

hans-g. Jul 10, 2013 11:27 AM (in response to soliver481)Hi,
some of the people here do not recommend using swf files. Please use forum's search function or have a look here e.g.:

8. Re: integrating swf with dreamweaver
soliver481 Jul 10, 2013 5:02 PM (in response to hans-g.)The scipts are there in a scripts folder on the server. UGH!!! I'm so confused. Why do I have to change the coding and I'm not really sure what special characters the error would be for the web page is relatively simple.

hans-g. Jul 11, 2013 1:35 AM (in response to soliver481)Hello,
another try with your source code showed me a difference with my experiment here:
<param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf">
Please give it a try.

10. Re: integrating swf with dreamweaver
NikkiONoodles Jul 12, 2013 10:32 AM (in response to soliver481)I tried viewing your .481gddr.com page, and it calls for a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Try downgrading the SWF version in your code to something like version 8:
<param name="swfversion" value="8.0.35.0">
Does this help?
(I am also trying to find a way to embed a Flash movie as a background image, but haven't succeeded yet....)
