Tbh, I didn't know it could even be done in a browser. I know you can do it in an exe, or in a layer with the wmode set, but as a floating browser controlled window is something I've not ever even heard mention of or would have thought possible without some browser plugin or client side activex wizardry, and if it's the latter, I don't think I'd want all the headache with regards to end users etc.

Yeah, I am wondering if Localconnection won't work because of the same reasons the Javascript won't work with Flash 8 running in the Ice ActiveX player. Are there no other tools that can do this? I know Zinc can make it a custom shaped window, but only as an .exe or screensaver - not running as a wrapper in a browser.
