This just gave me a great idea on how to battle those Flash popup ads in layers.
What if Firefox was to place all of the contents of a body tag within a layer positioned at (0,0) at the highest z-depth it could. The Flash ad would then be covered. I wonder if a Firefox plugin could do this sort of thing?

If maybe a easy framework for this can be made like HO it definetly has potential with flash8 . there is another way possible now if one want to make a seamless flash like a frame "around" the HTML layer using like 3-4 different embeded flash movies which all comunicate and synchronize with flash local connection...and via javacript /external interface with the content.The content could sometimes be another a 5th flash movie which communicates with the others so make it even more seamless. I will try this approach on a project soon. Wont work on any layout but works fine for many,and should have no problems with browsers like the HO approach.
