Is is possible to have an .swf file as a background in an HTML file so that it covers the users browser 100%? I am able to get the background as 100% scalable but I am having a hard time figuring out how to add tables and content to it? I would like for it to be compatible in IE and FireFox. Heres a snippet of the div tag and swf settings.

Sorry if this is the wrong category for this thread and thanks in advance.

This is placed in between my body tags.
