Flash as a background

[tecmeister]

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible to have a flash effect as the background of a html website.
If it is, how do i do so?

Thanks for the help.

Set the Flash movie (wmode set to transparent) on a lower z-index than the other html content.

The thing that i was wondering was, will i be able to put the martix effect on the background of the website, and have the all of the tab, data etc over the top of it.
This is the actionscript if it helps:


maxLines = 40;
minScale = 10;
maxScale = 70;

theMatrix = createEmptyMovieClip('MatrixCode',1);
curLines = 0;

theMatrix.onEnterFrame = function(){

if(curLines <= maxLines){
curLines++;

codeLine = this.createEmptyMovieClip('codeLine',curLines);

var ranScale = Math.round(Math.random() * (maxScale-minScale)) + minScale;
codeLine._xscale = codeLine._yscale = ranScale;

codeLine._x = Math.random() * Stage.width;

codeLine.speed = (codeLine._xscale)/10;

codeLine.myCodes = [];
numPods = 0;
while(codeLine._height < Stage.height){
numPods++;

pod = codeLine.attachMovie('one_pod','pod'+numPods,numPo ds);
codeLine.myCodes.push(pod);

pod._y -= (pod._height+2) * numPods;

pod.the_one.Neo.text = chr(Math.round(Math.random() * 27) + 96);
}

codeLine.ind = 0;

codeLine.delay = codeLines.myCodes.length;

codeLine.onEnterFrame = function(){

this._y += this.speed;

if(this._y - this._height >= Stage.height) {

maxLines++;

this.removeMovieClip();
}

this.curCode = this.myCodes[this.ind];

if(this.curCode._currentframe == 1) this.curCode.play();

if(this.ind < this.myCodes.length and this.delay != 0){

this.ind++;

this.delay--;
} else {

this.ind = 0;

this.delay = this.myCodes.length;
}
}
}
}

Best way to find out, is to try it! ;)

I have been trying and it doesn't seem to work. But i guess i will just keep on trying.

Can you attach your .fla and .html, or post a link to this online?

put your flash in a div with a lower z-index than everything else i.e 0, and set its position to abosolute with top left @ 0,0 and width and height of 100%


did it myself here:

Isn't that what I first suggested?
