To my surprise, this actually works!
Uh… sorta…
I’m using http://www.dreams4you.com/howto/flash/background/ as the source for this (since i couldn’t get it working on my own) so here’s my question:
I figured that if I changed the flash layer’s properties from position:absolute; to position:fixed; that the flash layer would lock to the window position and scroll down with the page, as I’ve seen on many different webpages. However, when I do this, the flash layer appears further up on the page in sequence.
From what I gather, this only works in IE6+/Windows.
I know this is “frowned upon” in the world of authoring, but I’m requiring IE6+ to view my page, and a javascript lockout to “reccomend” IE6 to those who don’t have it. Over 99% of my traffic is IE 5.5+ in the first place, so the reprocussions for this don’t bother me.
Anyway… does anyone know why position:fixed; all of a sudden makes this thing go nuts? Any help would be appriciated.
