FlashFilter: I would like to lay a flash movie _over_ a web page and have web content show through the movie (in defined areas). Is there a way to specify an alpha channel (or other masking option) for a flash file? I'm certain there is, but my flash programmer is a neophyte and doesn't believe me.

you should find what you're looking for.
And since Ask Metafilter wouldn't be Metafilter without a little bit 'o snark, fire your programmer. Not knowing how to do something is fine for a neophyte, but not knowing that this is possible and refusing to believe you/look into it is ... questionable, at best
