Expanding Flash Content Over HTML Etc

[tomjelfs]

Hey everyone,

OK so I'm building some Flash content for my Myspace page and was wondering if anyone knows how you go about creating that effect where when you mouse over or click on a link the content expands to a larger flash movie and covers the other content on the page.

An example is the Crank advertisements on this page http://www.maximmag.co.uk/

Any advice greatly appreciated

No that just makes the background transparent. I'm starting to assume it involves some sort of Javascripting.

wheres the flash example on that page? , my guess without seeing it done is that you could just do it with actionscript by changing the width and height of the movie to 100%... however that may conflict with the <embed> heights and widths so JS may be a solution to change them to 100

They were the Crank Advertisments at the side but it looks like they've beend replaced with DOA advertisments now.

I think if the embed size changed it would move the html content along with it.
