was wondering how this is achieved - not the graphic itself but the fact that
if you right click anywhere outside of the beetle it shows up as html -
anywhere on the beetle is a flash movie !! not only is the movie beetle shaped
but if you keep your pointer in the same place and click on one of the antenae
when it moves over the mouse - its flash ! when the antenae moves away from the
pointer its html !!! maybe i am just misguided but i never realised you could
export a flash movie in a particular shape, let alone one that animates .......
i get having an animation with a transparent background so it appears to be
free floating as such but if you right click outside that animation then you
nearly always see its in a square/rectangular background , even if you cant see
it !!!!
so how is this done then ?
