Re: absolute positioning

I'm not sure exactly how this is done but here is what I am seeing. This should get you in the right direction on finding an answer. :-)

So this looks to be 2(maybe 3) different .swfs.

I am guessing one big (blank) .swf that calls in the other two .swfs. This is actually verified by watching each of the two clips load in seperately at slightly different times.

Then, they position the top .swf (with the logo) to be at a position of 0,0,0,0 (top left corner of the window) and set the resize value to false.

In the bottom .swf - I know its the bottom since if you drag window all the way up the two peices layer on top of each other.

They set the coordinates of the window to the bottom left and they make it so it resizes with the actual window.

This shouldn't be hard to accomplish, although I've never done it before.

Google for something about resizing/moving .swfs withing a .swf. That should get you started.

Additionally, this may help: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/...=00000150.html
