Ok ... I've spent too much time on this ... Is is possible to place a DIV over Flash ? to hide or overlap items? I want hide a portion of the flash with an image or background color. The previous developer did not leave behind the .fla file I've tried a couple of things, z-index, but no-go ... anyone?
You could try fighting fire with fire and making a div with two flash movies. One which is the current one and another that is just a blank one. And then use "position: absolute" to place the blank one over the edge of the current one. I'd imagine you've tried this, but you could also just change the width of the flash movie as described in the HTML, that's probably a long shot though. JR
