Hey DrByte
So I tried playing with the later code from trackerboats.com and made a little web page to duplicate it.
Code:
 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
 <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.trackerboats.com/JavaScript/ufo.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width:950px; height:300px; border-bottom:2px solid #000;"><img src="http://www.trackerboats.com/images/frontF.jpg" border="0"></div>
<div id="homeSlideShow" style="width:950px; height:300px; position:absolute; top:83px; z-index:99;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
 var FO = { movie:"http://www.trackerboats.com/images/homeSlideShow.swf", width:"950", height:"300", majorversion:"7", build:"0", wmode:"transparent" };
 UFO.create(FO, "homeSlideShow");
</script>
</body>
</html>
When the page loads the frontF.jpg loads low on the screen and then the flash pushes it up and loads in the lower position. How did they get it to load over the top? Next is this ufo.js available to the public somewhere?
