Menu hidden by flash component

Post by drdavidge »

Hey, the DHTML menu on the following page is not displaying over the Flash applet I have on that same page. I tried using the divhider addon method but it still is not working. Any suggestions? I think it works fine in IE but not in FireFox.

Hi,

You need to upgrade your menu to the newest version 5.808 and see if that fixes the issue. Also, you can go to this post and mark it as follow this top, or subscribe or whatever it says and you will get an email notification whenever the menu has a new version come out, or a fix or such. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3108

The new notification for update has not been put in yet, but 5.808 is the version you'll get when you download. Make sure you're logged in under the name used when you purchased/licensed the menu and make sure you don't overwrite your existing menu_data.js file. I would suggest you rename that, then you'll never have to worry about accidentally overwriting it when a new download. :)

I was using SWFObject to embed the piece of flash I had (from SlideShowPro ).. so I wound up having to add in a param for wmode=transparent. This was the code I used..

Code: Select all


<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {
 initialURL: escape(document.location)
}

swfobject.embedSWF("slideshow.swf", "flashcontent", "400","400", "8","expressInstall.swf", flashvars, {wmode:"transparent"}, false);

</script>

Looks like it works now.
