Menu not showing over flash in FireFox 3

Post by bduenskie »

I'm using menu version 5.785. It works perfectly in FireFox 1,2 and IE. But with the release of FireFox 3 the menu is being overlayed by a flash object.

I'm viewing the menu on a Windows XP machine.

Any help regarding this would be most appreciated.

First you need to upgrade to the current version - v5.795. The current version is required for help here in the forum. If that doesn't work we'll go from there.

Hi,

In order to be fully compatible, can you please use the Flash Activation script found here: http://milonic.com/activateflash.php

What this does is ensure that the wmode property has been set to transparent thus ensuring that the menu will sit on top of Flash

Thanks Andy,

This seem to do the trick. One question, is there a way to use this fix with swfobject.js? One of this nice things with swfobject is it allows you to specify alternative code to show if flash isn't enabled. Is there a way to do that with this fix? I didn't notice anything in the article.

Thanks,
Bill
