how do they embed the flv

[computerpain]

Hello,
I came across a site:
http://www.onsitevideos.com/

I cant figure out how they embed their flv. Any ideas?

Thanks,

I'm not sure I'm following exactly what you're curious about, but they're green screen videos that have had their backgrounds removed before they're brought into Flash. Then they're embedded on the page with a transparent background (wmode="transparent"), and they use javascript to keep them in the lower right hand corner of the page.

I guess I could not see the <object> or <embed> tag for the video. So I was not sure what technique they where using to embed the flvs.

So they don't use CSS to absolutely position the flv in the bottom right?

Can you point me in the right direction to learn about positioning an element with javascript?

Thanks,
POJ

Ah. Well you're right, they're not just putting the embed code into the page. The HTML is kind of a mess, but they have a few javascript files attached to the page, so it's likely the Flash files are being placed into the page that way.

Absolute positioning wouldn't keep the person at the bottom of the screen. Fixed positioning would, but IE6 doesn't support that. So for IE6 you have to use javascript. Here's an example: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/fixed.html
