Does Menu conflict with Flash loading in IE on XP?
Does Menu conflict with Flash loading in IE on XP?
We are trying to use a Menu next to a flash graphic which overlaps the flash graphic when moused over. On IE on XP Pro, the flash graphic won't load. Any ideas??!? It works in other browsers on other platforms -

When I try (XP and IE6 / Avant) it looks like the two windows containing text at the right hand side are also overlapping the animation.
Normally you can right click on a Flash animation to get certain settings but I'm not getting anything on yours. There isn't a layer that's covering it is there?

I see you've figured out the param problem in the <object> code and got it loaded in IE. I noticed it earlier but got interrupted before I could reply... sorry. I noticed a couple of othr things that might also be worth checking. You seem to have additioal parameters set that aren't really parameters as far as I know. In your object code, you haveimaginus wrote:I would like to be able to overlap the menu on the flash - that can be done right? What is starnge, like you said, is that there appears to be no flash there at all. I'm struggling to figure out the solution!
Code: Select all
<param name="attr" value="value">
Code: Select all
attr="value"
Your menu should overlap the flash OK with most modern browsers. You'll have difficulties with older or crappier browsers, like NS4x or Opera, where the menu (or any other dhtml element) will fall behind the flash. Best to test your layout in th browsers that you care about. If the layering becomes a problem, you can either (1) redsign the layout so that menus never oerlap flash or (2) put the flash in a div and hide it when an overlapping menu opens. There are discussions on the board about option 2 (you'll find them by searching the forums for 'flash'). The Milonic code is also able to facilitate the div hiding approach... you can see a sample here.
Hope that helps,
