How can I work around this problem?

A little problem, I have been faced with during some time. I'll do my best to describe the issue...

Some experience - not really important:
I'm currently edit a template in dreamweaver - the site will be eventually connected to a ready database for some user submitted content and have things like the authentication of the user etc.

The model was created using tables and has a flash header and all of this is centered in the browser.

The problem: Let's take user authentication. Let's say I want a small button on the left side of the model, which, once clicked will be sliding a little hidden Panel with the fields username and password, and when the user clicks on the "connect" button, Panel vice versa slides (behind a picture for example) disappears from the view once more. The problem is, what should I use as the Panel itself? A panel that can slide behind an image (so is animated), and who can view dynamic content?

Initially, the layers appear to be the way to go, but with absolute positioning of the layers and the central positioning of the site this has proved impossible. Project VII make a nice extension called layer snap, which allows me to put a coat on a page from a picture, then I could animate. The problem is that when a browser is resized to drag the rest of the layer where it is because it is, after all, a layer of absolute positioning.

Insertion of different flash animations and connect them my databases seem possible but unnecessarily complex. I'm not sure the CSS and if there is anything with this technology I could use to solve the problem.

Your help would be very appreciated!

Thank you
