position:relative;
top: -15px;

height:175px;
float:left;
}
#letter a {
width:250px;
height:175px;
display:block;
cursor:pointer;
}
<div id="letter"><a href="#" title="click">
		<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="250" height="175" id="plic" align="middle">

i'm trying to place the href over the object because i need to call a javascript event

 

That statement makes no sense. What does an anchor tag have to do with Javascript?

[AyKay47]

the only thing that i can think of here is that you want to use the link to call a javascript function?

 

<a href='javascript:function()'>

 

is this correct OP?

an anchor tag is not necessary here, however it can be used.

the java script searches for the first a href in #letter and shows a hidden div, the problem is that flash cannot launch this call and i want the href to be on top of the flash, i tried with z-index but no luck.

i believe that you will want to add the flash var "wmode='transparent'" to your flash object.. this should integrate it into the html itself and allow you to layer things on top of it

if you look at the code i'm using "wmode='transparent'"

[AyKay47]

what browser are you testing one? i believe that wmode=transparent will work on most browsers.. however it is not a universal fix

[dsp77]

i made a tweak on the object element and it works, the problem now is how to make the pointer to show that there is a link there. I made in flash a hand cursor but it persists after i move the mouse out of the flash. i uploaded the fla file.
