Hello - My goal is to have a full-browser flash video playing in the background while I place my content over it using HTML/CSS.

This works fine on my Mac. However, the HTML text does not appear on a PC.

The way I did it was by streaming my video into Flash externally through AS3. I also included a resume and pause button for the video. Then in the Publish Settings under the HTML tab, I chose 100% for the sizing and then No Border for the Scale. Then I published the swf and html page.

In this HTML page I added my text in a div id on the line after the opening body tag. Then I also styled this div with an external style sheet.

like i said this all works on my mac but not pc. I was hoping someone could help me figure out the problem/solution.

you can see my test at www.kaceymorrow.com

thanks

Try setting the wmode to transparent in your embed code. This is often a problem when trying to overlay HTML on top of Flash content.
