Sadly outside of the flash movie I know of no way to capture the mouse coordinates or window position of the flash player instance, since the flash movie would need information related to it’s global position within the browser DOM (whether it’s positioned by DIV, IFrame, or just a html position). You should be able to get this position using javascript and submit it to the flash movie on update, but I’m once again not sure how well that would work (considering every browser is unique and there are many variables for placement).

For example this post on javascript coordinates of a div layer indicates that it’s a bit of a hack to get the coordinates.

Flash does spoil us with it’s simple power.

I am trying to retrieve the window coordinates of flash player in a browser. Sometimes I can find it (window mode I presume?) sometimes I can’t (windowless?). I use Win32 functions.

do you have any suggestions how I can do this? Coordinates can be relative to screen or broswer, I can make the correction.
