Arrange > Send to back: possible for SWF-file?

[Loes]

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to put things on top of a sfw-file in AMS7?

I would like to play a swf-movie with the same dimensions as my menu, and would like to put the navigation controls (stop playing the movie, go to next page, previous page, main menu etc) on top of the sfw file.
Is this possible?

I tried selecting and sending the flash file to back, but everything I put on top, just sits behind the flash movie.

Thanks in advance!

I've seen similar posts to this one. I was unable to locate what I was looking for in the search, you may have better luck.

I have used the Page.SetObjectZOrder() in several projects successfully; however I don't know if they work with .swf files.

There is an inherent z-order hierarchy of objects. Some of them cannot have others ontop of them and a swf object is one of them.

Perhaps this example I did will help:

My last post on that thread shows the list, as of then, of objects that can be manipulated in this way.

Thanks Intrigued, it's looking good, but I don't feel confident enough (yet) to try and use external DLL's.

Thanks again,

Eh, there's really not much on the user's end to the DLL.

Here's the code for that example:

On Preload

Page.StartTimer(0)

On Timer

tblProps = Web.GetProperties("Web1")
	handle = tblProps.WindowHandle

tblProps2 = ComboBox.GetProperties("ComboBox1")
	handle2 = tblProps2.WindowHandle

DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\SetWinTop.dll", "SetWinTop", handle, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL)
DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\SetWinTop.dll", "SetWinTop", handle2, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL)
