Im trying to make a website in which the WHOLE background of the site is a textured image that I created in photoshop, as opposed to a basic solid color with the main content centered. I'd like to make this site using Flash, but I'd also like to know how to do it using dreamweaver (if theres any difference).
Thanks in advance!

In Dreamweaver you can specify the background image in Page Properties. Or just go to the code and add background="image.jpg" where image.jpg obviously the path to the file you're using. You will probably also want to add a bgcolor= tag as well using something that is colose to the image tones so that before the image loads (and in case the image doesn't load) the text will be readable. It also prevents a jarring flash when the background image finally does pop in.
