Problems with DHTML Menu & Flash use via swfobject

Post by thaberland »

hello!
we´re using the DHTML Menu on top of a site with a flash-movie just beneath.
due to the ie problems, we need to implement the flashmovie via the external javascript swfobject (we need THAT js-solution becouse of some obtions, this script supplies) an now have a little problem:

the menu works fine so far, it shows on mouseover, but it just won´t vanish
if the mouse leaves the menu-area but is still over the flash film... not until the mouse has left the flashmovie also...

is there a workaround already?

one idea i got, eventually: is it possible to remote the menu?
e.g. to close it cia javascript, so that we can run a closing-menu-javascript on mouse-over-the-flashfilm ;-)

any advice would be nice,

thx in advance,

...
onmouseover = "closeAllMenus();"

(stinkin' forum quotes aren't working!)
