Is it possible to use an apDiv or some other way to put text links over a flash movie?

Thanks,

Susan
 
Its possible, but I think it be easier to just create the links inside the Flash object.

However if you must, you could absolutely position a DIV over another DIV that holds the flash object.

I put the flash into a apDiv and positioned my text links in another apDiv but they don't show up over the flash...

See it here:
I positioned it only halfway over the flash just above the Three-Day Intensives link, and you can see how only half of it shows - the part not over the flash.

Any ideas?

Really appreciate the help!!

Try modifying the z-index for both objects.

Make the z-index larger for the links, and lower for the flash object.

Try this

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
in your flash area. You will also need to add
wmode="transparent"
to the "embed" area of your flash.

By the way, if you change the height property of the first table inside of the div (apNonProdNav) to 32px, your menu will drop down into view.
