Flash as background on web pages / stock selling

Flash  Flash 10  Actionscript 3  Pixel Bender

Doing some experimenting of putting a flash SWF as a background bellow HTML and creating a stock selling package for FlashDen.net.

After some initial trying and failing, I ended up with a minimalistic approach that seems to work on all major browsers. The solution is intuitive; absolutely positioning a DIV element (html based content) over a DIV containing the Flash SWF, and using the z-index css property to handle z-order. Export settings when building the SWF also needs to be correct. 

Having discovered FlashDen.Net, I decided to take my Recursive Zoomer and package it in the format FlashDen.Net requires. It literally took hours, as I had to make a preview package, preview image, and the purchase package. I set up a small mini site that will be used for previewing on their site, here it is:RecursiveZoomer Preview Site Thumbnail

Currently number 96 in their review queue.

UPDATE: After about 5 days in their review queue my package was rejected since they do not accept CS4 (Flash 10) stuff yet.

It looks very nice, reminds me of some demoscene fxes. Does the background div use "gpu" wmode? Will you be releasing it as opensource then?

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
