I can't speak definitively, not having attempted such a thing, but a Flex app runs in the Flash Player plugin which is instantiated by an object/embed tag in the browser. I doubt it can ignore its boundaries. That said, you could probably do what you describe with an absolutely positioned div holding the object/embed tag.

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.
