Nice guys! :)
Yes, I'm rooting for deng and for flash 8.5 and more html support in
textfields but ho is there for people that still need straight html.
Drag and drop from component panel into flash. But it would be cool to
update it with Flash 8 External Interface.

Check out the debug example. There are *three* html overlays on that
page. Can you spot the other ones?

Heres a HO like ,similar "seamless" HTML layer - over flash interface
example I implemented 2 years ago:
http://www.wsw-online.de/verkehr/index.html
(its in a popup ,so wont work with popup, click wsw-mobicenter link)
Its working quite good on most browsers but probably not all..but was
a pain to implement.
If maybe a easy framework for this can be made like HO it definetly
has potential with flash8 .
there is another way possible now if one want to make a seamless
flash like a frame "around" the HTML layer using
like 3-4 different embeded flash movies which all comunicate and
synchronize with flash local connection...and via javacript /external
interface with the content.The content could sometimes be another a
5th flash movie which communicates with the others so make it even
more seamless.
I will try this approach on a project soon.
Wont work on any layout but works fine for many,and should have no
problems with browsers like the HO approach.

The fact we can get HO working consistently accross wider range of
browsers is exciting since I've been trying to get it done "properly"
for ages now (mixing Flash and HTML as if it's all in Flash).
However it still remains buggy and limiting (example - missing text
cursors, focus issues and the fact html is always on top means no
custom cursors or movieclips over it etc. etc.).
It also requires too much from the user - JS on, recent Flash player,
recent browser version, and right platform.
With flash 8.0 adding advanced bitmap operations and 8.5 adding
blazing math speed to the runtime, I think we're a lot closer to
having full-blows DHTML renderer in Flash which is almost as fast as
any browser out there (in other words: like Deng, except couple of
hundred times faster ;) ).

I'm not sure how your site is built but the purpose of the HTML
Overlay (HO for short) is to get HTML from a database (using ASP,
PHP, etc) and update the div that is displayed transparently over
your flash document. The html content can come from an html element
on the page or be set in flash like this:
// set the html in dynamically created div
my_ho.setHTML = "<some html>"
// move the div to a new location relative to where it is on the
flash stage
my_ho.moveTo(10,30)
my_ho.setHTML = "<new html>"
Is really one of my personal favorite projects. It is to give Flash
all the features of HTML from within the Flash IDE. Now with
External Interface we have a even more features. I still get info
that people do not know it's uses. I'll post some links to live
demonstration shortly.

The principle works indeed. But the HTML has to come from Flash. In
a large site where dynamic (ASP) pages create the menu's, it can't
be used.

Great work! By any chance Do you have a list of platforms you have
tested this on? The main problem I have is with Linux.
Thanks

Hi Saunder,
It is possible. Until I send some example links you can look at
these screenshots here:
http://drumbeatinsight.com/system/files?file=screenshot1.jpg
http://drumbeatinsight.com/system/files?file=screenshot2.jpg
http://drumbeatinsight.com/htmloverlay
I am thinking of making this open source if anyone is interested.
Best Regards,

Er... Linux issue only? How do you layer *any* content above
flash? It's just not possible! Even a layer with plain text
with a higher ID will drop under flash...
Thanks for all your help, not only I learned how exactly
indetify the problem but also how to post more accurate
subjects to the list. I will try to get the source info for
this problem and post it back to the list.
