Using a Flash Drop Down over HTML Page
Hello,
I am working on a site where only the top navigation is done in Flash. I want to have drop down menus but how do I develop a drop-down menu so that it shows up over the HTML table in Dreamweaver?
I want a drop-down to show up over top of existing HTML content like it would if you created the drop-down right in Dreamweaver. If I created a full drop-down in Flash it would create a large empty space until the user mouses over the links in the menu. Does this make sense?
Thanks very much for any guidance/help!!

I've always wondered if this was possible. Would you mind posting how it is done?=, if it can be that is.
"A piece of toast always lands butter side down, and a cat always lands of its feet. If one was to tie a piece of toast to the back of a cat butter side up, would it hover above the ground in perpetual indecision?"

Simply put it can't be done the way Html does it. Flash is like a sand box only allowing its content to be seen with in the width and Height set in its embeded html object.
Now there is a few ways you could imitate or hack the "OVER HTML" functionality. One way would be to place your flash file in a layer and position it over your html content you will need to set a few parameters in the embeded object.
first the
wmode = transparent
in flash or in parameters you could set the below
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"
Stage.align = "T"
now you will need a to use a little javascript to get your div+flash layer to resize when the drop down is shown.
I think that should get any of you, interested, started. Don't have time to put one together but shouldn't be very difficult.
don't forget to set swliveconnect="true" for any flash back n forth javascript juggling of vars.
