DIVS: Need Help Controlling Embed Objects in Divs (Firefox) Options

I want to know how to control embed objects (flash mp3 player, slide show) in Divs...

With Firefox I can control them if they're in a layout that won't use DIVS, but in Divs, I can't control embed objects :(

What can I do?

[bassrebel]

will it be better if I just put my codes here?

[freeflow]

Um don't double post edit next time. So in firefox this code doesn't work:

CODE

<style type="text/css">
.embed, object{position: absolute; left: #px; top: #px;}
</style>

or this one:

CODE

<style type="text/css">
embed, object{position: absolute; left: #px; top: #px;}
</style>

What exactly about them are you trying to control?

[bassrebel]

the mp3 player is the one that I want to controll, because I am trying to replace the slide show with comments, but that's another tragedy haha

[freeflow]

Then just use :

CODE

<style type="text/css">
embed{ properties here}
</style>

Change properties here to whatever you want to control about it. Don't add "object" or else it will effect your slideshow. Unless your slideshow is an embed code, if it is you can't edit one of them because the code will automatically edit both.

thanks a lot... excuse my newbie-ness... I'm still learning at divs and all that stuff... but what properties should I put there?

heh just asking

[freeflow]

What do you want to do ? Position it somewhere?

If so you use:
{ position: absolute; left: #px; top: #px;}

And you put numbers for left and top.

I want just to control my mp3 player... it is placed where I want it to be... but I can't control it... for example touch the play button, or select the song that I want... etc...

[bassrebel]

???

[freeflow]

Don't double post dear. You lost me. What about the play button?You can't use a code to control the buttons.

[bassrebel]

haha, If I put that exact player in a myspace that has not DIVS, I can control it with firefox. But when I putted this player in my div, I've somehow lost all ability to control my player. If I'm using IE, I can control it either in divs or not.


why can't I control it in divs?

[freeflow]

um link to your myspace?

[bassrebel]

myspace/bassrebel


there u go

[freeflow]

I don't think theres nothing you can do about it. I thought there was a code stopping it but thats the player. Next time you might want to try a diff player from maybe:
http://myflashfetish.com but not positive those will work in firefox either.

I use safari so yea

[bassrebel]

but why when someone has my same player in his myspace (without divs) I can control it with firefox?

[bassrebel]

anyone?

thanks a lot, that did fix the problem...

for any future users who are using the same flash slideshow/mp3 player, change: wmode="transparent" to a different color.

U can close the thread, or add this type of question in the FAQ, because a lot of people will need it

[*This Confession*]

I'll add it to the FAQ's how about that?

Anyway if you have any other questions or problems just ask.
