If anyone has a good place to start on how to create an expandable or floating banner, I would really appriciate the help.

I know you can use things like [www.eyeblaster.com](http://www.eyeblaster.com), [www.pointroll.com](http://www.pointroll.com), [www.dartmotif.com](http://www.dartmotif.com) but I want to be able to do this on my own.

I’m pretty sure it’s just a transparent swf overlaying html content. But is there something with DIV layers I need to know? Is there any specific actionscript I need to put in?

I’m working for a pretty big client that wants to advertise on some pretty small websites, so I doubt they’ll be much help. So I need to know as much as I can.

If anyone has gone through the process, I’d love to hear anything you’ve got.

Please help me before my brain explodes.
