Objects on top of Movies

A while ago I read this topic about placing objects on top of QuickTime movies in iWeb:

Quicktime not layering behind others

In iWeb an object appears to be on top, but after publishing the page the object disappears behind the QuickTime movie.

Have a look at these images below. On the left a Flash Video, on the right a QuickTime movie. You'll see 2 images, the blue-ish one is the (selected) image on the page, the red-ish one when dragged.

When displayed in a browserwindow it's normal behaviour that QuickTime movies are on the front. But it seems strange when working in iWeb. Despair galore!

So what's the solution? Use a Flash Video. Besides that, you have more features. See my iFrame section with samples.

See this page where a butterfly image is positioned above a HTML Snippet with a Flash Video.

Where does iWeb store its file (2)

Here's another way to find your precious Domain file. Notice the text in the search field. Obvious, isn't it?

Movie location

In addition to my blog How to add a movie to your blog, here's an image of the actual folder with the content:

If you need more movies on your pages, simply add a new html page, a jpg in two (2) locations (Don't know why. The Flashplayer wants it.) and the m4v movie.

If your movie has a different size (width/height) you need to add a shade.png to reflect these dimensions.
