I just ran into a problem If I have flash in a frame and I have a slide out menu (the yp one) slide over the flash, it actually doesn't slide over but goes under the .swf flile. Is there any way to make the flash file go under the menu just like normal text?
Thanks

yep. better off doing the menu in flash. spend less that that way trying to figure out how to do it the other way in which cant be done.
had to do it in flash for this a while back:

nice site...
I'm not changing the menus.. HA .. they took me way too long to figure them out..
It's still not 100% done.. but if you go COMPANY> Mission Statement or Career Opportunities you can see the flash.. I made it so that id doesn't go as far as the menu.

menus like that take 10 minutes to redo in flash. c'mon man.. have some confidence. you can do it! now get out there and show me what youve got. and if you dont win, thats ok. youre still a winner to me. *pats you on the back*
NOW GET OUT THERE AND PLAY SOME BALL.

ok, so they cheated by replacing the flash with a static image when you rollover the menu but...

Nice workaround tho... See they never gave up.

Blue, you should throw all the other javascripts in one file. Will clean up the code and the js will be in the cache for the other pages, will help speed up the site too.

you need to play with your tags and assign a z-index to your objects.
..your flash cde here...
place your current nav in a tag give it a higher z-index than the flash movie.

hey honda how do i do that?

option number 10:
pc/ie/mozilla - 90% of your visitors - use wmode=transparent your menus will work just fine over the flash. for your mac users replace the flash with a static image. and call it a day.

yeah - what spk said
- Blueman0
wmode=transparent ? do i need to put this in a code?
"for your mac users replace the flash with a static image"
So once the flash finished playing replace it with a static image? Or is there a code that I can use that knows that a user is on a mac and it never plays the flash from the beginning?

shit
just noticed that it cut out the code i wrotewhat i was saying was play with the [div] tags.
[div id="giveTheObject_a_Name" style="z-index:0"]
place your nav in another [div]
[div id="nameOfYourNav" style="z-index:20"]
anything above with a higher z-index will be above the object.
transparent mode has nothing to do with it.

Thanks honda.. i ran into another problem when a user has IE5 it cuts off the slideout menu at the bottom of the top graphic... I load html pages into the frame. Is there any way of overcoming this problem?

transparent mode has everything to do with it.
