Hi guys,

I have a flash file, which’s dimensions are 500 px by 500 px. That’s how I want it. However, sometimes something happens in the flash movie, causing a movieclip to extend outside the dimensions (which I need it to be seen by the user). Im putting this swf into an html file. I definately know there is a way where those out-of-bound movieclips can appear (inside a browser), overlapping other html elements, but I forgot how. Well, setting the wmode parameter to transparent will cause the movie to become transparent, revealing whatever’s underneath, but this doesn’t solve my problem. I don’t want my movieclips to look “cut” when they happen to pass across my bounds. Any ideas??? Probably the DIV tag is related here.

PS Ofcourse I know that the cheapest way to solve this is by setting the movie dimension to something like 999 by 999. But I dont want to do that!
