[flexcoders] Detect obstructed display of a component

[Ryan Campbell]

Hey everyone,

I'm using the custom IFrame component to display Google AdSense ads  
in my Flex app. I've got it working really well except for one issue.

I need to be able to detect if any component is being displayed in  
front of the IFrame component. A TitleWindow pop up for example which  
might partially or fully obstruct the view of my IFrame component.
Although the TitleWindow is being displayed infront of the flex  
IFrame component, the actual html iframe is always in front of entire  
Flex application.

My plan is to simply hide the html iframe any time the visibility of  
the flex IFrame component is partially or fully obstructed.

Hoping this make sense.. looking forward to a response!

Thanks,
Ryan Campbell

What do you currently use for your server-side language?

framework AMF can get large amounts of data in binary format which is
quicker. However I have not found any good example online to learn
from.

Does anyone know where I can get started with AMF?
