CSS and Flash - 2/1/2005 11:46:25   
I am trying to insert a Flash Movie into a page. I have created DIV boxes to position my content, but the Flash Movie will not appear in the DIV box. It acts as if it were assigned an absolute position.

Here is the code that FP2003 used to place the flash into the page.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? (Besides using Front Page :) ) (I recently purchased Dreamweaver 2004MX, but am still trying to get comfortable with it.)

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj2" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="600" height="361">
      <param name="movie" value="hoopcourt.swf">
      <param name="quality" value="High">
      <embed src="hoopcourt.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj2" width="600" height="361"></object>


If I type text into the DIV box, everything works, but when I insert the flash movie, it does not appear in the DIV box where the text appeared.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

I am not clear on that.. what exactly happens? are you publishing it or previewing or what?

So far, I am previewing it in both FF and IE from my local drive. Both browsers do the same thing. However, if I create a table inside the DIV to place the flash movie into, then it appears correctly, but I refuse to go there. I am making a concerted effort to avoid tables for positioning.

I was just curious to know if CSS treated an object differently than text, or if I was screwing it up some other way.

I may just strip the code and start over again with DW to see if it behaves any differently.
