That's what I was afraid of...

Basically, there is content below the Flash file (a DHTML menu) that is
230px from the top of the page.  But I'm using percentages for the widtha nd
height of the Flash... therefore there is a point where Flash overlaps the
DHTML... so I thought I could just do this (pseudocode):

GetTheHeightOfFlash
NewHeightOfMenu = HeightOfFlash+30

MenuY = NewHeightOfMenu

But I think I'm going to have to recreate the DHTML menu in Flash... I hate
to give up on it, but I haven't yet found any evidence reinforcing the fact
that it can even be done...

Gah.

Thanks for the response John!
