Handling of the element loaded at the top of the video

It is possible to load some images or SWF on the top of the video. The allowed image formats depend on the Flash plugin version installed on the browser. The non-progressive JPEG will work most of the time.

The loading of an image requires 4 parameters:

the URL
the depth
the vertical alignment
the horizontal alignment

// The image is loaded at depth 1 and is aligned in the top left corner 
document.getElementById("myFlash").SetVariable("method:loadMovieOnTop", "logo.jpg|1|0|0");
 
// The image is loaded at depth 4 and is aligned in the right bottom corner with 
document.getElementById("myFlash").SetVariable("method:loadMovieOnTop", "logo.jpg|4|-5|-5");
 
// The image is loaded at depth 32 at center 
document.getElementById("myFlash").SetVariable("method:loadMovieOnTop", "logo.jpg|32||");

For the alignment, an empty parameter means at center. If it is positive, the position is top left. If it is negative (-0 is possible), the position is bottom right.
