Add a Flash movie

The completed Olivebranch home page includes a section on weekly specials in which various sale items gradually fade in and out on the right side of the page.

The "specials" section actually contains two layers: the first contains the static this week's specials image, and the second (which overlaps the first) contains a Flash movie in which sale items fade in and out. So far, your version of the home page includes only the layer with the static image; here, you'll add the Flash movie in a layer on top of the image layer to recreate the "specials" section as it appears on the completed home page.

Because the Flash movie will be in a layer that sits directly on top of the this week's special image layer, you must turn off the Prevent Layer Overlaps option.

To allow layers to overlap:

1	Choose Window > Layers to reopen the Layer palette.
2	Deselect the Prevent Overlaps option.

Now you'll need to create a new layer to contain the Flash movie.

To add a new layer containing a Flash movie:

1	Choose Insert > Layer.
2	Single-click to put the cursor inside the new layer.
3	Choose Insert > Flash and select home_ticker.swf in the Assets folder.
	The layer expands to the size of the Flash movie, which is represented by a gray rectangle.

Next, play the Flash movie in the Document window and align it over the this week's specials layer.

To play the Flash movie inside the Document window:

Choose View > Plugins > Play All.

To align the Flash movie layer over the this week's specials layer:

1	Click the layer's border to select the entire layer and drag it by its handle until it aligns over the this week's specials layer.
	The Flash movie contains blocks of color and a horizontal line that match the static this week's special graphic. Use these to guide you as you place the Flash movie layer on top of the image layer.
	Note: The Flash movie may not look the same on all monitor resolutions. If the Flash movie layer doesn't appear to align over the this week's specials layer, choose Window > Properties to open the Property inspector and reset the dimensions of the Flash movie to W 329, H 94.
	The two layers on top of each other should look like this:
2	Choose File > Save to save the changes you just made.
