You can play .swf files in Jitter so it concides with your other  
question which has the answer to alternately give your window the  
'front' command.

Hm, it is not exactly a flash-animation I want to display but a webpageish swf that is fed with strings from xml-tags, dynamically from a network-server. Also with an intergated time- and date-counter. So I suppose the qt.movie functionality fails on this one.

Any idea how to force an external system-window to the front/back? Or how to make a jitter window dis- an reappear, revealing an external application instead of the Max programming environment?

I don't know the answer but you could try looking at rotate window commands that might be available via applescript or using the external shell object to do this. If you're using a Mac that is, I don't know about the windows platform.

Look at the helpfile and html help for jit.window. If you need to 

explicitly bring the browser to the front, you can use applescript

Well you can change the size, location and atributes (scroll no  
scroll etc) of a jit.window.
