Mask a flash Placeholder?

[sadicus]

Is there a way to place a mask over a placeholder? The placeholder is for a flash file.

or Is there a way to have any graphic OVER a flash file?

I'm trying to make my flash movie window have rounded corners.
and make a watermark over the flash.

Flash is an overlay and always on top. It's not actually an object on the webpage but rather the installed Adobe flashplayer on top.

AH. good to know. Then the mask will need to be done when building the flash movie.
thanks!

Ah my testing and research let me down. I tried it with youtube and vimeo movies, not a local .swf file

Well done Sebastian

example vimeo
<object width="499" height="274"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7055627&amp;server=vimeo.com &amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portr ait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7055627&amp;server=vimeo.com &amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portr ait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="499" height="274"></embed></object>

Sledger,
it should also work with vimeo

Actually the vimeo code in my previous post is broken - nothing loads.

Please try this:

<object width="499" height="274">
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7055627&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1" />
<embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7055627&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="499" height="274"></embed>
</object>

You'll see that it doesn't work at all with an overlaid graphic

I think the difference is in the encoding.
A flash movie is not the same encoding as a flash slideshow made from JPG images.
The OP mentioned flash movie - which it probably why I didn't think of a flash slideshow made from JPG photos.

I'm trying to make my flash movie window have rounded corners.
and make a watermark over the flash.
