I know they're horrible but does anyone have a good resource on how to build a flash banner that expands outside the original banner area on a web page?
Thanks!

Find out who serves them, Mediaplex, Eyeblaster, etc, then get documentation from them as it differs depending on who you go through.

I'm actually just looking for specific javascript/css demos to make this work. It's not actually a banner ad but they want to use the effect of having it expand in size when they roll over it. Thanks!

Sorry, no idea mate, only done the flash part and let the media server handle the javascript.
As far as the flash goes, you have an .swf for the contracted part which loads a larger .swf into a container on rollOver.

incidentally, I was privy to this information yesterday.

To do a mock up, I would build both the expanded and unexpanded states within the same flash file. Obviosuly, with the movie dimensions being the size of the exapnded banner.
And use either a floating div and/or export the swf with the windowMode set to 'transparent'
