an overlay technique required (contains a flash player object)

[mojito]

Dear all
Merry new year firstly!

am trying to get the best cross browser/platform solution to the following problem.

From a standard dhtml page I need to onclick of something bring up a layer or div to cover the page (not 100%) and then be able to close it.
What tags and techniques might I start looking at to achieve this ? Considering I need cross platform and no pop up blocking. The element will be flash and will be transparent.

thanks for any ideas. :confused:

Place the Flash object in a DIV, then you can use JavaScript to change the DIV's styles to achieve the effect you want.

Thanks for that, I have a sample working now, and need help getting all the cross platform css working, but thats not my dept.
