I am currently trying to place a flash creative in a page and then dynamically show an applet on top of it.
I can do this with absolute positioning if I contain the applet in a div tag. I place the flash object on the screen and the absolutely position the div tag with the applet on top of it.
Now this solution doesnt work because I need the applet to maintain its position over the flash object regardless of <center> tags or anything else.
When I try to make the div tag relative to a div containing both objects, it automatically pushes the div containing the applet below the flash. It seems to not let me overlap them with relative positioning.
I can get them to over lap by changing the left and top.. but then the div applet will shift left or right depending on how far over the applet is. I assume because it still thinks its in the right place.. and not jammed beneath the flash.
So I'm stumped. Is this a bug in flash? Maybe I should stick this in the flash forum as well.
