Subject: [flexcoders] How Do I Programatically Make Flash Movie's Stage
Expand Over its Container Div?

In the animation on the page above, notice the toy soldier spinning
the candy cane. The candy cane gets cut off by the bottom of the
stage as it spins. I'd like to grow the stage height to reveal the
whole candy cane as it spins, then shink it back to it's starting
height once the cane stops spinning.
Does anyone know how to make the flash movie expand over the HTML div
it is contained inside without changing the div's size? I've seen
Flash ads on websites like Yahoo.com and Huffingtonpost.com where
mousing over the ad makes the ad expand to an arbitrary size without
moving any of the page elements, as if the flash movie suddenly
overlaps the rest of the page. Once you mouseout, the movie returns
to its original size/state inside the div.
I think the movie is always at the full size, but has a transparent
background. Then you just mask the contents and change the size of the
mask..
I've already got the code that fires an event when the toy solider
starts and stops the spin. Now I need the code to resize the
animation without without moving any HTML elements.
