Sss Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Please help me position a swf on top of an image in a parallax page. I place the swf in the html page and set to transparent, all good. But the positioning of the swf I cannot seem to figure out. Changing size is easy, but how do I position the swf, on a existing .png (which is on a minus z axis) in a specific place. I don't want someone to just write the code for me, I want to learn how and the methodology behind it. I suspect that a ?wrapper? or ?container? is needed. So I thought even a text box would suffice. But I suspect that is the wrong approach. Help, and patience would be appreciated. Thanks Folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 There are several positioning options with CSS: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsonesuk Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 two options(1) (better option) Create a container the same size as image, use the image as background image, place swf inside of this, no need to use positioning. (2) Create container, give it position: relative;, place image within this container, give it position: absolute; left; 0; top:0; and size, place swf file within this container. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sss Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Thanks for the responses. I decided to go to the w3schools home page and read the ENTIRE css tutorial from the beginning! So... I studied the tut, and took the test, re-read the tut, and took the test, and re-read the tut, and took the test, until I got 100% correct. Then I did the same with the js, html, html5, and css3 tuts. Until I got 100% correct. Along the way, I also went thru EVERY single example, to be sure I understood it. Then....... I GOT IT!! All of it, parts I had forgotten, never understood and new stuff too. Sooooooo... I really want you to know that I gained a lot of appreciation regarding this site! A wonderful process of instruction! The examples made the instruction quite clear and understandable. So thanks, a lot, for the help and directions. Kudos to the creators and supporters of w3schools!
