Actually, the usnet adobe groups are pretty useless. Adobe users
usually use the Adobe forums at adobe.com. So even if he did find it,
it would have been useless to him anyway,and he would have ended up
here anyway.
To answer his question, it is actually pretty simple to do that:
1. Film actor, key encode FLV with alpha
2, Build a transparent Flash video player using FLVPlayback.
3. Write the actionscript to make the player load, unload videos and
make the player visible at the correct times (several methods can do
this)
Put the player on the background and have the "appearing" in the video
or put the player into a div and use javascript/css to make the div
appear and disappear.
