I want to be able to build up various elements of an GUI using Flash (menu
bars, buttons etc.), but overlay these Flash elements over other bitmap images
on the Director stage to reduce overall movie/cast size and reduce overall
development time. However, unless I have the Flash member set to 'Direct to
Stage' it plays like a dog's dinner as the frame rate of the SWF is never
retained which means I am unable to position other within the confines of the
Flash sprite otherwise they are shoved into the background never to be seen
again. Surely the integration of Director and Flash is more seamless that this
or am I missing something?!?

Cheers all...
