I don’t think that is possible. I have seen XHTML expandable banners, and I have seen Flash expandable banners that go over text within flash (not HTML). Do you have an example website?

I think [espn.com](http://espn.com) does that from time to time. I do believe that is somehow dhtml related. But I would like to know as well.

Strange, it’s the one thing we don’t know how to do, yet 200 people ask this question every week… Maybe i’ll do some investigation(-:

is it in the param?  
this will work for your growing script.

"in mc"  
stop();  
this.swapDepths(currentDepth);  
this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
if(rewind == true){ //rewind true = play backwards…  
prevFrame(); //play backwards  
}  
}

this.onRollOver = function(){  
currentDepth = this.getDepth();  
this.swapDepths(this.\_x + this.\_y\*isoPlane\_width);  
rewind = false; //set variable (or switch) that decides wether to or not to play backwards…  
play();  
}

this.onRollOut = function(){

```
//gotoAndPlay.level10;
rewind = true; //rewind true = play backwards...

```

}

this.onRelease = function(){  
getURL(“[http://www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com)”,"\_blank");  
}
