Question

I have found this question; Can I move a Flash object within the DOM without it reloading?

I m developing a simple video chat application. Whenever I move a flash object within the dom tree, it resets itself. I know there is no solution for it which is a browser specific behaviour. However, I would like to ask whether there is any workaround to do this. My requirements are simple. I have multiple streams which are aligned horizontally. Every stream is a different flash object. When someone enlarges a single Flash object, I need to move it to the top. Whenever I move it to the top, that particular video resets itself, and you wait for a couple of second to get the stream back. Is there any workaround or any way to avoid this.

I am currently simply prepending the same list item to the same parent. This is a very important feature and any kind of solution which doesn’t require flash to reset itself is acceptable. (Except creating a parent flash container which has all the streams within it.)

Thanks,

I’m not sure, but I think that a div with absolute position, and changing x/y coordinates worked for me (I haven’t done any extensive testing though). Could give it a try.
