Is there a way to place a SWF on an HTML page as if it is hovering on the page

Hello,

What I am trying to do here is place a SWF on an html page when a user clicks a link on the page. The SWF cannot move or distort any of the content on the html page. This is like an ‘additional information’ popup link using a SWF. The user can then x-out of the SWF and it would go away. So, I guess it’s similar to a modal window, only using a SWF.

Use SWFObject JS? How?
