Video file as a BacKGrOuND ?

[PreDr.ag]

Hi All can anyone tell me how can some video file be used as a background (ex: AVI or else).

And how I can put paragraph in front of video file.

Can it be done?

GoOgLe , thats looks good, can you give me a little tip how you make the flash file? I mean just make a file with links and import to AMS?

download and convert the video to flash

video, flash, and web cannot be used as backgrounds. The buttons, images, and paragaph ares drawn directly to the AMS window and will always be behind those objects.

The only way to really do this is to do it all in one object. Worm's right. Video objects, Flash objects and Web objects are always on top.

The current workarounds involve putting all your elements (video and buttons, text objects, etc.) into either a single web object (using CSS and z index) or into a single Flash object (where everything can be layered in that interface). The good thing about doing this in Flash vs. a web object is the degree of control that you get. Flash can hand-off values to AMS, and therefore buttons in a Flash object can make the AMS project do different things, such as jump pages, for instance. Of course, this requires working knowledge of Flash.

As an addendum to this thread, I will recall a previous one with a potential workaround.
As you can mask a video object, you could use a mask with "holes" and position buttons etc.. on the "holes". Thus, efectively, you would have a AMS pbject on top of a video background.
Mind you, you wont get alpha channel capability, but for opaque objects, this will work.

Thank you all for answering.
Can anyone give an example?

Here is an example.
Just replace the video object with a valid one. I didnt want to upload a video file...

i have suggested long ago (before ams6) layers in ams
this will make video backgrounds flash background... as simple as doing it in flash.
well hope it will be in ams7.
