Has anyone out there ever seen those flash ads that fly across your screen on like a layer of some kind? DHTML? Does anyone know how to do this or how it is done...like what does the script consist of and how to build a flash file to do this sort of thing? Who does this stuff?
I saw one a yahoo.com...it just came out of nowhere and flashed an ad for about 10 seconds and then it was gone....it was totally seemless and was fully interactive.
How can I do this?
Thanks guys!

Its a transparent window with flash. Make your flash movie, go to publish settings>windowless transparent

I admit I don't know much about this, but I don't think that really answers the question.
Although publishing as transparent windowless will show a background color or image through (IE only), it will not make the Flash appear to be above normal HTML text or graphics. Or at least, it doesn't seem to work that way when I export transparent windowless.
Can someone be bit more specific on how this is done?

Best thing to do is pull apart the code on the page that you saw it on. I am pretty sure it is a DHTML thing though. Dreamweaver has some pretty cool timed controls over layers that combined with Flash could be the "how". (Those ads drive me nuts by the way.)

i havn't tried it but it looks like it's just javascript and layers, nothing fancy... layer.moveTo(x,y)

I bet you it's moving a popup window with an embedded .swf.

Wouldn't a popup window (even a transparent one) bring up a new taskbar item? Most of the Flash ads like this I've seen don't do that.
Someone go find one and post a link so we can figure it out for sure!

Most of the ones I remember seeing were naked windows, borderless, which only worked with IE.
