swf movie over a html page (posh popup)

Question

Hi everyone,

I looking to hack something like this:

An example >> Just click on "Start PicLens Lite Slideshow PicLens".

Did you see how the swf/flash loads on top of the normal page? Im looking to do that :-D

If there is some code out there the better otherwise any tips or hits are welcome.

Thanks lots.

Answer 1

You can look at javascript tools like Shadowbox that can load any types of elements into a box above the site.

Answer 2

You are looking for the lightbox effect. Just set your content to your flash object and use a lightbox sans borders.

Answer 3

If you are using a framework such as Mootools or jQuery I'd suggest a lightbox clone that uses them (e.g. Milkbox or MediaBox Advanced for for Mootools).
