I am trying to create a website that will have a flash movie on three sides of the text area on a webpage (a menu and banner and such). I want to avoid using frames because I need this page to be searchable on the big search engines. I also want the movie to load as one movie so there will be one preloader for the entire page instead of three sections.

If there is a way to do this could someone let me know? A possible way of putting the flash movie over the part of the page I want to show but have the movie transparent or something.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
