swf as a background image examples... not using z-index, just absolute positioning

http://pipwerks.com/swfobject/z-index/2.0/index.html

this example dosnt use z-index, but position relative on a wrapper, inside which the overlay content is given position absolute... source order of overlay and content not important as long as all in the wrapper...

reckons tested in Firefox 3, IE 6, and Safari 4

Flash Preloaders

Here are some preloaders I want to try out, just need a simple thin line with cutomisable colour, or full page wipe.

AS2

full page line, looks slick. dosn't work for some people.

good helpful comments, can be made to go fullscreen... no complaints.

customisable lines and percents

another line loader- colours customise with changing movieclip manually.

http://activeden.net/item/all-in-one-preloader/full_screen_preview/7979

this is cool it goes from middle outwards, not many purchases or info about it, but its nice and a bit different... hopefully can turn off the auto fade-out... no complaints yet, not much feedback. it might just blend ok with the other lines in the file...

http://activeden.net/item/thin-wide-preloader/59634

AS3

looks good, fullscreen, customisable by code, all features, includes a fade into the flash file... new not much feedback.

http://activeden.net/item/fullscreen-line-preloader/51093

this looks ok thought check ffox3 on PC see if it works...
