sorry if there is already a thread about that but i didnt find any.

What I want to do is to put a \*.swf file over an html page(layer or something) and make it always be at the bottom of the browser.  
I mean that when the user scrolls the page, the flash movie won’t be lost. I want it to stay at the exact same position.

Thanks all.
