Is it possible to configure a flash SWF so that it not only is transparent, but also let’s users click through to the HTML below?
The scenario: Imagine a horizontal drop down menu. That menu is a transparent SWF. For it to have a drop down I need to set the movie dimensions for something like width: 1000px; height: 250px;
Those 250px will overlap an html slider. Users won’t be able to click the slider because the flash movie has a higher z-index.
Any solution?
Perhaps trying to change z-index with java script dynamically and using AS3’s ExternalInterface.

For transparency there should be an option in your publish settings.
