Is it possible to embed a (.swf) movie into my webpage as a backround. If it is, how can it be done?

Yes you are right it does work. I did a test with copy and paste (putting in my own movie.swf) and it works. I will try and figure out some of the source and hopefully I will get back to this page with the simplified version. If I don’t and anyone is interested in it email me at [christopher15000@hotmail.com](mailto:christopher15000@hotmail.com)
