Milonic Menu above Flash SWF [SOLVED]

Post by nick.clasen@gmail.com »

I'm having a bit of trouble with my menu working correctly when opening over a flash swf file. When I mouse over my menu the flyout appears behind the flash file instead of on top. If I replace the flash file with a static image it works perfectly.

Does anyone have any suggestions? My site is http://www.wakeaction.com

Thank you,

Upgrade your menu software. You are way down-level. Current version is 5.770, you are at 5.756. Many updates and fixes since then.

Alright i've updated to the most recent menu, but no resolve. It's weird that it works fine in IE7, but not in firefox. It's like the flash overlays the menu.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks!

Try adding the following as the first line of your _data file...

fixMozillaZIndex=true;

Also, why do you have the drawMenus(); item commented out?

Thank You!!

John I've added your suggestion and it has resolved my issue. I've not tested it on earlier versions of FF, but it appears to have resolved the issue.

To answer your question I have another JS file that renders the menus.

Thanks again

I had the fixMozillaZIndex set to true but it did not solve the problem until I made the flash window mode (wmode) transparent.

Add:

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

to the <object> tag

and

wmode="transparent"

to the <embed> tag.
