hmm..so its seems that its possible with javascript...I was hoping to avoid this so that everything was flash based...
As for my second question...is there no way to have the flash up use some kind of z-index and make itself look as if it was on top of the actual html page? Essentially, I want to have a flash app that looks the a small preview..and allows the user to expand it. At that point, something like a traditional lightbox would work perfectly, as all attention would be on it, and it would be front & center.
