No.

You might be able to place non flash images and text over a flash movie. I have not tried this though.

Hello,

I was inspired from this design http://www.belvisio.de which is made from flash (wait till it is completly loaded, until ou see menu and buildings). I did want use a flash which changes 3-4 background photos. As you can see it has full width for the background not fixed. I did try to make a foto as background which will scale to full width when browser window becomes full. But this did not work.

I have here 2 samples from TG forum which I upload. But the do not behave like in this sample page.

With WD6 I did make an additional sample (see attached) what works but only in fixed width. You can even put banderole, text and button over it.

With WYSIWYG 7 Webeditor it is possible to use flash as a background and it changeds width dynamic. W7 has a extension what is called "BackFlash".

The HTML code what it has generated you can see below.

May bee somebody has an answer how to integrate flash file as background.

Thanks Tom

Your example is a full-flash site. The background image is being dynamically scaled in response to the width of the browser using actionscript to vary the image size. This is really beyond the Flash capabilities of Xara software. It would be possible to mimic the effect with html and javascript with some effort (and no, that wasn't an offer!).
