And by that I mean to detect where the bottom of the viewable area of any browser is using Flash.

I was looking at Catfish but I would prefer to not hack the browser’s own scrollbar.

I have also seen a floating menu script used from Dynamic Drive but it does not appear to work in IE6

Since it is a SWF I would like to have appear aligned bottom left, I was wondering if Flash can detect and place a SWF aligned to the bottom left, regardless of how deep the view is and have it stick there when the viewer scrolls.
