Submenus display BEHIND Flash slideshow
Hi,
The left side vertical menu on this page index.html has submenus that display BEHIND the Flash slideshow even though I added a z-index of 999 to the Left Column.
Help is appreciated.

Hi Lyn
Try to add this parameter to your flash animation:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
So your code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="670" height="450" title="slideshow - battery families">
<param name="movie" value="/xml_demo.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="SCALE" value="exactfit">
<embed src="/xml_demo.swf" width="670" height="450" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" scale="exactfit"></embed>
</object>
Should look like that:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="670" height="450" title="slideshow - battery families">
<param name="movie" value="/xml_demo.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="SCALE" value="exactfit">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="/xml_demo.swf" width="670" height="450" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" scale="exactfit"></embed>
</object>
Sorry for the "grin"-smileys. That gets converted automatically by WA
you probably have to add it to your .js as well, so:
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','670','height','450','title','slideshow - battery families','src','/xml_demo','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','scale','exactfit','movie','/xml_demo' ); //end AC code
becomes:
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','670','height','450','title','slideshow - battery families','src','/xml_demo','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','scale','exactfit','movie','/xml_demo','wmode','transparent' ); //end AC code
Thanks, Ray
I'll try that. Won't this just make the Flash object transparent? Won't the Submenu still display behind the Flash image and the user still won't be able to click a submenu since it will be blocked (although visible) by the Flash element?
Thanks,
Lyn
No... although it sounds like it from the name it really just makes other things appear on top of it.
