From my past experience, you can not load anthing over an "object" tag. So if you have video, flash, or anything else that would use the "object" tag you can not load menus or anything else of the nature over it.
A list menu is the only thing that will load over this tag. Does anyone know of a way to achieve this? Any samples?
Thanks in advance.

nope, flash appears over every html element. javascript won't work because flash is an activex (i think) plug-in.
i've heard if you know some activex programming, you could possibly achieve this, but it's difficult.
activex, directx one of those, i get them confused.

it is an active x plug in.
wow. this sux. I figured out a way to achieve this but it is the most practicle.
The main page is the only page with flash. So, I make the navigation part of the flash. With doing that, I can what ever the hell I want with the navigation. Then on the secondary pages, we use html for the nav. Flash is only present on the main page.
The navigation could also be dynamic so it wouldn't be that difficult to update.
But would this be the most practicle thing to do. here is an example of my problem.
Navigation is present over the flash. The ivast site doesn't have any drop downs, but imagine that it did.

assuming you are doing the menu on front page in flash because of the banner?
i remember this being posted, but havent looked at it yet.
tcm did "fake" it.
http://turnerclassicmovies.com/e…they have a menu over flash. i haven't looked at how they did it yet. but maybe something to look at.

If you notice, when you roll over an object in the navigation, it swaps out the flash which will allow you to have a list drop down.
Something we can't do at this point. But a good idea for future use.
THANKS!
