I have just installed some XP Pro updates and am now experiencing difficulties with functionality of flyout menus over Flash slideshows. (IE 6.0.29) Flyouts now often disappear behind the swf movie and the movie is highlighted around the edge with the alt message 'Click to activate and use this control'. url is http://www.garden-landscape.com
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, David
Problem with submenus over Flash slideshow
You're getting that message because M$ lost their lawsuit and popped out the updates. I have them installed here and am not seeing either the message or the pop-behind problem. However, I am seeing a very annoying quick reload of the page when moving from menu to menu. Of course, it does not fail in FF.
Unless Andy can come up with something IE users are stuck. I'll alert him to this.
Nice jobs, BTW. Come and do my place

E Flash work around
Hope this helps - we've been using it with great success 
At the end of your HTML file, put this line:
CODE
<script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"></script>
In your external file (which we have assumed above is called 'ieupdate.js' put this:
CODE
theObjects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for (var i = 0; i < theObjects.length; i++) {
theObjects.outerHTML = theObjects.outerHTML;
}

Still the same problem...
Hi
I've tried the solution provided by theWEBSQUAD but I still get the same stupid behaviour when using Internet Explorer.
If I click on the movie one time, the problem dissapear and the submenus don't "flash" until I go back to the frontpage and reloads. Then the "flashing" starts up again.
Check: http://www.pit.no
I'm using the latest version of the menu. I'm also using an Access Database to store the menu in, but that should'nt have anything to do with this kind of behaviour. In FireFox everything is "Smooth & Cool" of cource

Hi Bryntez
I looked at your code but didn't see the reference to the external javascript file suggested by theWebSquad. I put mine at the end of the page just before </html> and that seemed to work ok. Also I am referencing the whole menu in an external file 'embedded_main_menu.js' for ease of site-wide editing. Don't know if that makes any difference though. Good Luck.
