Wmode and embedded flash questions

[cowman345]

Hey everyone,

Problem: I want a Flash Shopping Cart (780x250px) at a certain position on the page (easy), but I'd like a zoom function to blow up a product in the cart in a popup windowl (like 780x500px which is outside bounds of the embeded flash shopping cart), covering up the html content below, and returning to 780x250px upon closing the zoomed image.

I guess what I'm getting at is, an embedded flash object will have a specific height and width. I want to exceed that height and width, that is, actually change the swf document size temporarily. Is this possible??

Howdy and Welcome... :)

Maybe this page from the MustardLab is what you are looking for???

That just might do the trick!

I dunno about the javascript though, trying to stay away from it. I wonder if a DHTML popup would work for viewing the zoomed-in image, with the option to close it by clicking anywhere in the popup...

I don't know what you meant by all that DHTML stuff but it'd be great if you try it and let us know how that method works... ;)
