RE: FN-FORUM: inputting flash into css

date posted 30th January 2007 14:44

I think you may already have had an answer to this but... you cant do it that way. Flash needs to be enclosed in and tags to work properly. If you insert the flash via dreamweaver then look at the code you'll see whats needed. Essentially you're trying to referance the .swf in your CSS as you would an image and thats just not going to work.

If may be alot of code to display the .swf but thats how it works ;)
