black backgrounds and swf elements and point hotspots

[acer4x]

Problem:
I have a tour with point hotspots and an embedded swf file. I am unable to place a black background (rectangle) behind the embedded swf element (which is a child inside a hotspot template) when the background rectangle is above the template in the tree. It blacks out all of the elements that are children of the hotspot template. I would expect it to act as a background to the swf element in this position and it does not.

The black rectangle does work as a background when it is above the swf element in the tree when it is also a child of the hotspot template.

Do point hotspots prevent the background to work as expected?

Thanks in advance for your insight.

Hi
As you have seen, the lower an element id in the file tree the more forward it is in the final output.

Hopki - thank you.
The swf element should not have been a child of the hotspot template - as soon as I took it out the background displayed as expected. The example you gave me helped a great deal. Thanks again.
