I think i have an idea on how it was set up. When you are done with your movie you can click publish to create an html file with the flash code in it. Click publish and go to the html tab at the top. In the window mode drop down menu select transparent windowless. That will give it no background, open up the html file and extract the html code for it.
Now there is on more part and I think this is how it goes. You need to make a layer above your current layer. Im not completely sure how a layer code works, but if you have dreamweaver you can go insert > layer. I'm sure frontpage probably has one too. This is what the code looks like:
Code:
<div id="bannerlayer" style="position:absolute; width:550px; height:400px; z-index:1; left: 1px; top: 1px">
Flash movie Code Here
</div>

Z index is the depth, height and width are self explanetory.
Left and top are basically the _x and _y coordinates of the layer. The rest of it is just contained inside the movie itself, the button and junk. Ben probably has a simpler way, but i think this should work.

thats the basic idea behind it, but, there is a few things like javascript checking for cookies, and also hiding layers etc, fairly simple stuff really.
