Can you have a website with just the navigation in flash that has dropdown menu that goes over non-flash (html only) content?

OR will the navigation have to have big white space on the bottom for the menu to drop down into?

I want it to go over the content that is non flash.

Let me know if you need further explanation.

Thanks

Still having problems.

Someone else in our office had found this link with directions.
So i put the script in the exact spot that I would have put the flash file and it is doesn't work. I also tried the script at the top of the html page but that didn't seem to work either.

Any ideas?

I believe it would work if you simply publish a transparent movie and put it in a layer in the html... (div)

See....i knew i would have another question.

Do you know if this code can be altered to work also in Netscape? OR what a person does if it only works in one browser?

Thanks.
