    I haven't seen his thing, it doesn't work for me but I guess it is something along the lines of http://www27.brinkster.com/nerdinside/launcher.html

    Internet Explorer only too.

    He just took time to hide his code where mine is hanging out.

    Hi Toony,

    I'm curious as to why it doesn't work on your machine.

    Are you using Flash 5 or above on a PC? U shouldn't even see the right click menu as it's been disabled...maybe you have an old cached version of my movie or a buggy version of the player?

    I would suggest getting the latest flash plug-in and clearing your cache. What do u see before you click forward? Should say something like detecting browser.

    Mike

    Hi,

    Sorry I don't have time to go over this right now, but needless to say it's done with JavaScript written out by flash. When you view source you are viewing the orginial page source, not the page source written out by flash at run time.

    There's nothing particularly clever about the effect which uses layers, but having flash replace it's own embed is pretty neat, especially when it's done on flashkit where you have no control over the initial embed code.

    In fact you could drop one of these flash movies anywhere and take full control of the content on a page. It also means you can have flash movies that dynamically alter their own embed tags to resize the flash movie within a page, move them around, and have flash animating HTML page content at will.

    In my example, when the first flash movie loads up it then overwrites itself with a Div tag. This Div layer contains the embed for the background flash movie, and another Div tag which contains the embed for the butterfly movie. It also writes out the javascript functions which handle moving the butterfly Div layer around on the page.

    All the movies are actually the same flash swf. A query string variable included in the newly written html embed tells the swf which element it should become.

    I hope that makes sense, it's actually pretty simple. The tricky part is writting out the javascript commands without the anoying side effects and limitations, not to mention how you get flash to overwrite it's own embed.

    I would still like to see someone have a go at this if anyone feels up for it.

    Mike

    And you brought up this old thread to accomplish what?

    Seriously... I'd suggest avoiding doing this in the future. Very bad form.

    Thread closed. Don't do it again with some nonsensical response.
