Hi,

I'm completely new to this, so please bear with me. :)

I have an HTML page that is exactly how i want it, with an embedded flash item. that works fine.

but i'd like to have a frame at the bottom with one small line of HTML text.

My ideal result is to have the bottom frame (and text) always visible and unscalable, while maintaining the scale and other details of the flash item above.

Can anyone provide me the code to so?

Thanks in advance for your help,
I'm a complete beginner to HTML so clarity is appreciated.

Thanks!

Use an iframe

<iframe style=&quot;position:absolute;top:400px;left40:px&quot; name=&quot;footer&quot; width=400 height=80 scrolling=&quot;no&quot; frameborder=0 src=&quot;yourpagename.html&quot;></iframe>

do i put that code in my HTML page withthe flash object?

and is &quot;yourpagename.html&quot; the html of the footer i'm looking to use?

Thanks Ian.
 
Why use a frame? If you're just doing this on one page, then just put the line in the code as HTML.

Alternately, if the footer isn't going to change very often (one of my clients had a footer on every page that was contact info and copyright info and that only changed once a year), have you considered making it a GIF?

curious,

Well, i have the Flash object page set with following properties:

leftmargin=&quot;0&quot; topmargin=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; scroll = &quot;no&quot;

that, along with the other flash scaling properties successfully meets my needs. (keeping the flash object locked in scale while keeping it 100% possible viewing space.)

i was thinking a frame would do the trick because the i didn't want to mess with the integrity of the flash object.

i tries the iframe.. but it didn't work with my current settings for the flash object.
