Since I'm wretched beyond wretched at dHTML, I never had the gupmtion to have a go at it, but honestly, the Flash movie lives in an HTML page, and you still ahve all the HTML stuff available. I'm kicking myself now for not having the link any more. I saw this done at the VW site - the page was a high energy piece called "We had this idea" or something like that. I just tried to find it again and couldnt. Anyway... Why would you want to? Here's one valid reason: how do you show a quicktime movie in Flash? You can't. It doesn't support Quicktime. You have to do some lame manuevers involving stripping the Quicktime movie into frames and then make it over again in Flash. VW had some funky movies and QRTV panoramas. Bingo. I couldn't figure out how they did it. Looked at the source and son-of-a-b - it was dHTML. The Quicktime was placed in a div layer above the Flash movie, with the visibility starting at "off". I didn't save the link, but I did save the source :) It began with a style sheet that specified divs for quicktime and flash: [code] #flash { position: absolute; visibility: visible; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 600px; height: 400px; z-index: 1; } #quick { position: absolute; visibility: hidden; left: 700px; top: 100px; width: 240px; height: 198px; z-index: 20; } [/code] There was a lot of javascript. I got dizzy looking at it. But .... it [b]can[/b] be done! I've seen it! :) Loading...
