I'm not sure how your site is built but the purpose of the HTML Overlay
(HO for short) is to get HTML from a database (using ASP, PHP, etc) and
update the div that is displayed transparently over your flash document.
The html content can come from an html element on the page or be set in
flash like this:
// set the html in dynamically created div
my_ho.setHTML = "<some html>"
// move the div to a new location relative to where it is on the flash stage
my_ho.moveTo(10,30)
my_ho.setHTML = "<new html>"
Is really one of my personal favorite projects. It is to give Flash all
the features of HTML from within the Flash IDE. Now with External
Interface we have a even more features. I still get info that people do
not know it's uses. I'll post some links to live demonstration shortly.

The principle works indeed. But the HTML has to come from Flash. In a
large site where dynamic (ASP) pages create the menu's, it can't be
used.

Great work! By any chance Do you have a list of platforms you have
tested this on? The main problem I have is with Linux.
Thanks

Hi Saunder,
It is possible. Until I send some example links you can look at
these screenshots here:

I am thinking of making this open source if anyone is interested.

Er... Linux issue only? How do you layer *any* content above
flash? It's just not possible! Even a layer with plain text with
a higher ID will drop under flash...
Thanks for all your help, not only I learned how exactly
indetify the problem but also how to post more accurate subjects
to the list. I will try to get the source info for this problem
and post it back to the list.
