Flash wmode not really transparent in Firefox
So my Flash navigation in Firefox isn't really transparent. I mean, everything below the flyout navigation appears just fine and in this sense it is transparent. But I have some links there that cannot be clicked in Firefox, works great in IE7. I'm using swfobject with an addParam("wmode", "transparent");
Anybody else ever have this problem? I'm pretty sure I can make a workaround with JavaScript but I'd really rather not do this if at all possible.
Thanks

When Flash is on top it has focus, and all other things (in this case) below it are in a sense disabled. You will need to place the Flash behind the other links.

I thought I could solve this problem with some JavaScript but as it turns out there is no way for the script to know if the links have been rolled over because the Flash is, and is always, on top. So your help would be greatly appreciated

Sure, no problem. Do you have a link to the infected page so that I can give you specifics?

I just uploaded the files that mattered. Hopefully you'll be able to figure it out.
Btw, I really appreciate the help!

Okay.. looking.. and I assume you are speaking of the black recangle under the pop out nav, yes? That shouldn't be black but instead show the content that is under it?

Not completely sure what you mean but the fly-out flash nav goes over the rectangle on the left with the links, Overview, Benefits, Features, etc. They work great in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox.

Okay, I see what you mean now. Yes, the black box under the nav should be black. And the wmode works correctly because the Flash nav is something like 300 px tall so you are able to see everything under the nav. Except in Firefox you aren't able to click on a link that resides under the flash. See what I mean now?

okay here is what I am seeing:
in IE:
and in FF:
It seems to work fine in FF but not show the nav in IE at all...
Now, if I understand your original question correctly you can't click on the left vertical menu when the top horizontal menu is being hovered over... which I have to ask.. why is that a problem? If I hover over the top nav I don't want to click the left nav.. ??

Ok well I see you're using IE6 which I haven't done any testing in as of yet. In IE7 it works great.
And my original question is that I cannot click on the left vertical menu at all, even if the mouse isn't over the nav because the nav with a transparent background is positioned over the horizontal links to the left. Which is why I made this thread's title, "Flash wmode not really transparent in Firefox." It's transparent in the fact that you can see through it, you just can't click on anything below it. If you rollover those vertical links in Firefox, nothing happens. If you rollover them in IE, you'll see the background change and you should be able to click on it, although the link is only a hash atm.
See what I mean now?
