Take a look here, [http://www.ugs.com/](http://www.ugs.com/) the top menu appears to be a javascript menu system made from an unordered list, but how on earth have they got it to lay over the top of the flash animation? any help 🙂

why help? youneed to do this???
anyway, you are wrong. the flash movie is only an item put inside a table of thier HTML. the rest is not flash
look at the source of thier html and you might learn

Thanks for your reply but … hu? :huh:
I know it isn’t all flash, only the promo animation, but the menu at the top layers over the top of that flash. in my experience flash was always drawn on top of everything else, but I think I have found out how they did it, with transparent windowless flash and absolute positioned layers. thanks though 😃

Sorry.
It’s actually a pretty nice effect 🙂

I did it here, [http://www.cyberware.co.uk/~richard/client\_sites/annex6/](http://www.cyberware.co.uk/~richard/client_sites/annex6/)
make sure you have this in your flash paramiters:
\
and I put the flash within \\ tags and the html you can position in \ tags using the
style="position:absolute;left:100;top:100"
attrib
Hope that helps
