**xanatas** · 04-04-2006, 09:27 AM

I used it successfully in some pages now is there any way to make it "drop" upwards????

thanks for helping me out.

thanks that was fast.
dont know what you changed but it worked

yet another problem:

above the menu (where it "drops" to) is a flash animation. the menu drops behind that flash animation. is there any way to make it float above. with z-index or something?

**xanatas** · 04-04-2006, 10:27 AM

found it out myself.
works with wmode="transparent" on the flash embed tag.
