Hi, I have an issue and I'd like to know if anyone has some advice on the best way to go about doing this.

Basically I've created a Flash navigation that's about 800 x 600, but it just curves around from the left side into a top bar, it's not a right angle. I have the wmode set to transparent, so the bottom right area is clear, and basically, I want to be able click the links in the flash and load html pages in that bottom right space. AND, I want this all to be centered in the browser.

My theory was to create two layers, with the Flash on top, and the layer below it would have an Iframe that would load the html. This way, you can scroll, and the text won't just cut off like I cut it up into right angle frames or tables, it will take the curve into account.

The problem I'm seeing is: A) Iframes in DWMX are terrible to deal with, and B) Iframes in layers are WORSE. Positioning the Iframe within the layer is pretty difficult, not to mention I can't figure out how to make layers center in the page (why can't it work like a table?).

If anyone has any suggestion, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
