My good friend Avi has just sent me a mail that reminded me a nice idea we had back at the old times when we worked together (more then 6 years ago). Back then, we looked for a solution for hebrew in flash (which is somewhat still relevant), and he had an idea to put an html DIV over the flash (using the opaque mode).

I took the challange of using that idea and made a small componant that is a combination of javascript and flash AS2 that enables you to automatically locate the DIV using the flash environment.

You can see the sample implementation at:

(the sample text and white background are html and the background is flash) 

or download the code :

Thanks for Avi (for beeing Avi...;)
