What you are more than likely seeing is a VB app with some sort of
transparency on it; not a "real" odd-shape like you are thinking.
Another good bet, at least in my limited experience, is that what you
are seeing is a browser embedded into the VB that has the Flash running
within it, but that could be wrong.

HTH,
