Milonic menu hidden by flash object in Firefox

http://195.31.218.155/ita/

Please check the link above. In IE7 is ok but in Firefox (ver. 2.0.0.9+) the menu is not visible!
Why? How can I solve?

Thanx you

First you must upgrade your menu code. You, like another user here today, are over 50 versions down-level. The current version, which is required for support here on the forum, is v5.792.

Thank you John for support!

I've updated the files... and now in Firefox I obtain that
home page: http://195.31.218.130/ita/ (in the black bar there's the milonic menu)
generic page http://195.31.218.155/ita/modelli/moder ... llegra.asp

How can I do to have the flash object always behind then milonic menu?! (look my red logo company on the right... in Firefox)

See you
mirko

The first link above responds with a 403 (forbidden) error.

The second link still shows you using v5.735 of the menu code!

Now the menu version is the last: "Version 5.792 - Built: Friday March 28 2008 - 16:38"
... but the problem in Firefox is the same.

Please check the link below and please help me to solve the problem!

To understand the difference... open it in Ienternet Explorer e then in Firefox. In that the menu are hidden!

Thanx you

Hi,

I have a fix, though I don't know why FF is doing what it is doing. If you call the flash in that js file firefox puts the flash on top no matter what I do with zindex or anything. However, if you actually code the flash on the page then the menu shows.

I'm sorry I can't figure out why it won't like it be called in the js file.

Code: Select all

<td valign=top colspan=3 height=579>
      <object codebase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0  classid=clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000>
     <param name="movie" value="home_brava_ita_tot.swf">
     <param name="quality" value="high">
     <param name="wmode" value="opaque">
	 <param name="width" value="100%">
	 <param name="height" value="100%">
	 <param name="scale" value="noscale">
	 <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain">
	 <param name="salign" value="t">
	 <param name="bgcolor" value="#cccccc"> 
     <embed src="home_brava_ita_tot.swf" quality="high"  wmode="transparent" width="100%" height="100%" scale="noscale" allowscriptaccess="samedomain" salign="t" bgcolor="#cccccc" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
      type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>   
</object>
    </td>

I also discovered with more experimenting that it is the embed part that FF wants on the page. So, you could leave the object coding in that file, and just put the embed part on the page [removing it from the file, of course]

For more info you would have to contact Milonic.

Hi Ruth,
thank you for your suggests... now the home is ok!!!! Good work!

I've only an another little problem... in the internal pages the red logo (right above) is partial hidden by flash object.
I tried to cut the js code and write simply the flash code, <object>... </object>, in the page but the problem (zindex???) is the same in FireFox.
Are you able to discover the problem?

http://www.cucinelube.it (that is OK also in FF!)
http://www.cucinelube.it/ita/modelli/mo ... llegra.asp (page with js code... it's not ok in FF!)
http://www.cucinelube.it/ita/modelli/mo ... egraFF.asp (page with flash code... it's not ok in FF!)

Thank you very much!
Bye bye

Hi,

Firefox absolutely wants the code on the page, not in a js file being called in the td.

Code: Select all

<object codebase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0  width="1003" height="64" classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000>
     <param name="movie" value="http://www.cucinelube.it/ITA/testata2008_ita.swf">
     <param name="quality" value="high">
     <param name="wmode" value="opaque">
     <embed
	  src="http://www.cucinelube.it/ITA/testata2008_ita.swf"
      quality="high"  wmode=transparent pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
      type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1003" height="64"></embed>   
</object>

If the code is on the page, it works fine in FF, if it is in the js file, it doesn't work. This might be a timing issue on which is being built when, but I don't know, that is something about which you'd have to contact Milonic.

I'll respond here based on your support request.

Your problem is this file: http://www.cucinelube.it/ita/testata2008_ita_flash.js - what you need to do is use the Microsoft approved approach found at http://www.milonic.dev/activateflash.php - That's all you will need to do, I've seen countless other Flash activating script but none of them work properly. The Microsoft Support Fix will work seamlessly and work with the menu.

HTH,
Andy
