Author Animations across entire page????

I'm new to the forum. I have seen on a couple of sites flash animations that
apear, animate across the screen (such as the Orbitz blimp) and have user
controls, and then finish by minimizing to a spot on the page or closing
completely. They are not a part of the actual site layout or design though.

Does anyone know how to build such a flash movie, or any place I can find
more information about building something similar?

If i understand what you are saying, you want a Flash movie to move across an
HTML page?
This can be done by the use of CSS and javascript. I'am sure you'll find what
your looking for at either

Thanks for the help... I do have another question though.

If my server does indeed support SSI, do I specify a .swf file or one that is
inside a .shtml? And will is play as being transparent on top of the site?

(dazed and confused)

You should always refer to the direct source...the *.SWF file. and ifyou use
this HTML code:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:

wmode="transparent"
than the *.SWF's background will be transparent.

Indeed... thanks for all the help! You have successfully resolved all my questions!

I think I was trying to make it harder than it actually was. :-)
