Help would be appreciated, maybe i'm thick but how see the example above.
How have they managed to get a flash move ia s background. When you scale the
browser window down in size the top left navigation and bottom right content
areas overlap, bonkers!!!!...

Is it DIVS or CSS or neither?

Please help, cheers!

It is just Flash. There are the menus that don't scale so you need to
use "noScale" in the publish settings and Dimensions at 100% (not
"match movie")to do that. Then the background does scale so you will
need to do that with Actionscript to override the noScale option. For
that you use a listener that is triggered by resizing the window..
It would probably be like this, but maybe some more positioning code
in the resize event..

Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; // keep menus the same
listener = new Object();
listener.onResize = function ()
{
background._width = Stage.width;
background._height = Stage.height;
}
