Making menu overlap flash movies

Post by Andy »

I am using a small flash movie on the middle of my site. The Menu does not show up OVER this part of the webpage. Is there a way I can use zindex or something else to make sure that the menu will show up ON TOP OF the movie (for the drop down)?

Thanks,
Robert

use the div hide function of the menu. wrap the object in a div and hide it's id in the array parameter.

This technics works well with MSIE, but with Opera 5 it is hides only static GIFs, not animated (GIF Images with low frequency of animation are hidden)

I have the same problem.....but when I enter what ID that has the div id nothing happens.... Nothing at all. I tried changing the DIV ID name and I have tried to change place on it and still don't work... It's a flash animation and a form that I have problems with

I also have a forms page. I have done as it says in some of the posts with the z index and changeing the setting in the menu. I have tired adding z index to the DIV and some ideas but still the menu will go behind the dropdown box.

I use IE 5.5 win2000

To edit an existing HTML page instead, add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag in the HTML code where you have your flash movie:

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

This will make the flashmovie transparent. It works in MIE v3.0 and up
But not in netscape browsers... But @!#$ netscape, only problems with this browser! And only 4 % is using the browser...

That's how it works... :o)

Hi it's me again!

Try and look at this page... The text "velkommen" is a flash, make the browser window smaller and than try the menu, click on the menu outside and see how the menu overlaps the flashmovie... Take a look at the code!

Hope anyone can use this!

Yes Yes Yes It worked with <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> Yes now I'm a happy camper....

I just hope that I can get the form to work also(i have a for with select boxes). I have tried the z-index and changed all kinds of stuff. No work....
