View Full Version : Need to click links under my SWF

I have some green screened footage of people and animals that walk across my website. Normally I would remove the div at the end of the video or when the user clicks the hide button. In this case we have a handful of vids that play at different intervals so I need to keep the div with my swf up (unless the user clicks hide).

The problem is, depending on the user's settings, there may be links or a login form behind the swf. Since it is transparent the user will see the links, but not be able to use them.

I found an old solution in this thread http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?p=293125&posted=1#post293125. It uses JS to set onfocus/onblur to toggle between the movie and the HTML. Unfortunately it uses the old school <object> code which calls the script. I'm not sure how to integrate that in to the modern swfobject JS.

Any suggestions?
