Need tree flash menu to expand outside of table.
I have a menu I am happy with in flash. I'm building it based on this www.extendstudio.com but when i stick in the cell it stays confined to the cell dimensions. I need the tree to expand outside the cell and overtop the page. Can this happen? I've messed with every combination of settings in the Publish window (Transparent Windowless, etc...).

I'm sure there are 100's of better ways to do this, so I'm all ears, but if I can use the menu I've already paid for that would be the coolest.

OK, so now I'm 90% there. The DIV was a good idea and seemed to do the trick. I just need to force the background of the movie transparent. My flash publishing settings for HTML are "Transparent Windowless" but it keeps giving me a background. I get a light grey regardless of that i pick in flash ehen publishing. Can I force it somehow?

What version of Flash and what version of FlashPlayer are you running?

Wicked, the DIV combined wth the wmode transparent worked great.
If you put your Flash into its own DIV, which you then turn into an absolutely-positioned div (position:absolute;) which you then place precisely over the area, make sure your Flash export settings are transparent, you should be good to go.
If that doesn't work, and you're getting frustrated, why not go back to old-school styles? Take a screen snapshot of your web page, place it precisely in your flash document - so that when the flash SWF is placed over top of your HTML you can't tell that it's opaque, because you've reproduced the rounded-corner frame behind it. Heck, you could even draw that rounded-corner box in Flash instead of going with a pixel-based screenshot if you want.
But I think you should definitely try the AP div option with transparent background first.
