Guest Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi there, I am trying to set a video as background to my website and I would like to have it scale to the width of the user' screen, but I can't figure out how to do it. I tried to put 100% in the width of the flash settings, but it does not seem to work. Any idea? Thanks for your help.

Mchl Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 While it might be possible (using z-index perhaps) are you sure it will look good? At least provide some means to disabling this feature.

haku Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 It's not really possible to set flash as a background. The best you can do is have your flash in one container, then shift something over top of it. You will have to set wmode=transparent to the flash, and make sure that the overlapping element either comes after the flash in your markup, or has a higher z-index than the flash in your CSS.f Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/185464-set-a-flash-video-as-background/#findComment-979592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpSensei Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hoping you have coded your page in CSS, then as mentioned above you can use z-index. Flash z index would be 1 and all your content on the page would be above 1 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/185464-set-a-flash-video-as-background/#findComment-979676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
