css : is it possible to make scalable text

[anfractuosities]

is there any way to make text scale fluidly, like it would with an image?

I am making a page where everything resizes, but I cannot get the text to change.

Make the font size based on em lengths.

but doesnt this make the font size change depending on the font size of it's parent element?

I want it to change based on the height and width of the fluidly scaling containing div.

Text doesn't quite work like that. You can have the text as an image if you want it to be "fluid" like the image.

while we are at it...could I ask you another question? Is there a way to get an embedded flash object to be behind the imgs on the page?

I have tried z-index in css.

This is my xhtml for the object



<object id="musicbox" >
<param name="movie" value="musicbox.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="musicbox.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="550" height="400" id="musicboxxx" />
</object>


and here is the result

You can objects "behind" other objects, however, this may not work the same in all browsers. The imgs would have to be transparent to see it also.
