    Html Flash combination

    I am trying to create a website that will have a flash movie on three sides of the text area on a webpage (a menu and banner and such). I want to avoid using frames because I need this page to be searchable on the big search engines. I also want the movie to load as one movie so there will be one preloader for the entire page instead of three sections.

    If there is a way to do this could someone let me know? A possible way of putting the flash movie over the part of the page I want to show but have the movie transparent or something.

    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Your preloader would have to use localConnection() or javascript to communicate with the 3 separate flash movies to determine how much of each is loaded.

    localConnection is a means for flash movies in the same HTML page to communicate, I would not reccomend trying javascript!

    Theres no real way of creating transparent flash for web ( across all browsers ) but you could try asking the 3rd party apps such as North Code etc ( ask in Stand-alone/aplications forum)

    Be aware too that you'll need text links as well as a flash nav for search engines to index your site.
