Problem with Menu disappearing behind SVG map

scargin · Post by **scargin** » Thu May 22, 2003 1:29 am

I have read that people have had issues with menus disappearing behind flash components.

Does anyone have a solution for stopping the menu disappearing behind .svg objects. I am incorporating the menu in a site with svg maps and it is moving behind the map.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try to put your flash components in a Layer!?
Something like that:

Code: Select all

<div name="myFlash" id="myFlash" style="position:absolute; top:85px; left:178px; z-index:10; overflow: visible;">
<-- Your FlashComponent Here -->
</div>

The layer with the z-index more higher value get in front of every other layer (but actually the Milonic Menu set no z-index --> not sure on that).. Well im not sure you have to set the z-index but try to put your flash in a layer and see what happens...

With previous Javascript menus placing the Flash content in a layer makes no difference as the Flash will appear as the top layer regardless of the Z index.

In any case I am talking about SVG which has some differences to Flash.

Thanks,

Did you find a solution to this problem? I'm having exactly the same problem using the menu with SVG. The menu is displayed behind the svg image and I tried using the style="z-index: 0" inside the embed. This embed is located inside a jsp file

<embed src="svg/myfile.svg"
wmode="transparent" style="z-index: 0" name="SVGEmbed" height="100%" width="100%" type="image/svg+xml" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/">
</embed>

Help please
