Dropdown menu scripts over flash animation?

[sibelius]

I use a couple different dropdown menu scripts from dynamic drive but can't get them to work when they drop down over a flash animation. If I put the menu bar below the animation it works fine, however. I played with the Z index but that didn't get it to work for me.

You can see one example of this at http://www.fossilridgeband.com/homepage.asp

Any suggestions to make it work?

Loosely from:

Add in this language to your object/embed tag(s) -

Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:


<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

Add the following attribute to the EMBED tag:


wmode="transparent"

Or, if you are using two object tags, as can and is sometimes done, add the param tag to both of them.

If you are using script to generate the tags (as is frequently done to avoid the 'click to activate' feature in some browsers), the wmode transparent must be passed to the script. This is easily accomplished but, varies depending upon the sort of script one uses. Some scripts do it automatically.

That did it - thanks for the help!
