flash with p5 -> layering

My idea:
I want to use a flash navigation/gui and do the rest of the graphics calculation in p5. The communiction between these two programms would work with the XMLsocket(flash) and the net-object in p5.
An other way would be the using the JSObject
http://proce55ing.net/discourse/yabb/board_Programs_action_disp_lay_num_1063901733.html
I tested both and they work perfectly.
In my mind a transparant flash-movie lying on top of the java-applet should be a "cool" combination of the advantages of both tools.
BUT.... using html with layers doesn't work because java always sets it self on top of all. Next try would be to use VB: applet in a browser and flash as a an activeX in front of it.
My questions:
-Is it possible to layer flash in front of a java-applet Will the performance be ok
-(very absurd : is it possible to include a flash-movie into a java-applet )
-Has anybody any experiences with this topic
i am curios about your answers

i'm not exactly a flash guru, so don't take my word for anything more than a suggested possible avenue - but is it possible to use a java applet as an object within a flash program?

You cna't embed java stuff in flash alas.
I think I may have a potential solution.
Take a look at this:

Basically, when menu needs to be over, it hides the Flash layer, and swaps it with an image. (they used to have a better 'underneath' image so the change wasn't noticaeble)
You might be able to use that with p5 & flash.
g'luck,
