The orbs that I know of operate in a three-dimensional radius, not all the
way to
orbit and the ground the way parcel lines do.
But I too read the requirement as simply preventing *flying*, and not
otherwise
limiting *access*. Hmmm -- I think my radar tells me if detected avatars
are flying
or not, so maybe it can be done....

Hmmm.... I'm not sure that a security orb is quite the right tool, although
it has a certain appeal. For one thing, depending on how it's written, it
may be triggered when someone enters the parcel anywhere, including on the
ground well below the skybox. For another, it may prevent ANY access, not
simply flying. Not having used a security orb myself, I don't know exactly
what the commercial ones do. I can imagine writing a script to beat those
two limitations, but there's still no way to restrict flying over a skybox
without also affecting flying below it. PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_FLY affects the
entire parcel.
