Chrome Drop Down menu BEHIND flash animation

[masterfred]

1) Script Title: Dropdown menu behind flash animation (firefox)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.autourdenous.org/test/main.php

3) Describe problem:

I'm using the Chromemenu script :

http://www.autourdenous.org/test/main.php

and the menu in firefox goes behind my flash animation, I've tried to add :

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> and wmode="transparent" in the embed, but not working, so I tried putting the flash animation in a div :

.flashDiv {
z-index: 3;
}

and the css style of my menu with z-index:1;

still not working

any idea ?

Try reversing the order. In other words, make the css style of the menu with a z-index property of 3, and the flashDiv with a z-index of 1.

Hope this helps.

Nop, not working ..., I've tried almost everything, any ideas anyone ?

I've had this problem before, no idea how to fix it
Try making an expanding flash menu bar that is scripted onto the page AFTER the other Flash object is, if you can make expanding flash menus that is

If either of you are still having problems, please provide a link to your problem page. And, in the future masterfred, try not to double post.

Thanks John ! Really appreciated !

Sorry about the double post thing, I really though I only had posted in this forum properly, can you delete that other post ?

The activation script is the automatic one used by dreamweaver 8.02 (active content) ... I'll try to see if I can fix their code to incorporate the Wmode thing and I'll post it here

Thank guys !

This is the post (since the other post will surely be deleted) :

First of all, the higher z-index value will (other things being 'equal') appear over the lower value so, if you were to code it as you have it in your post, the flash would always be on top of the menu.

You've got the right idea about wmode. However, if you are also using javascript to avoid the 'click to activate' feature, you must make sure that the script you are using maintains/uses the wmode transparent value for both the object and the embed it generates.

If it is the DW code I think that it is, all you need to do is add like (example from one I'm using in a project that I am currently working on):

AC_RunFlContentX ("movie", "bluesstroll_01a", "quality", "high", "wmode", "transparent", "src", "bluesstroll_01a", "width", "326", "height", "258" );

Saintmonkey! Have you tried adding
wmode="transparent"
inside the embed tags
