How do I get my flash banner to show up behind my javascript dropdown menu?
When I roll over the dropdown menu, the flash banner says on top and hides the choices!

http://www.macromedia.com/suppor… you bacsically need to make your parameter set to transparent. wmode="transparent"

Off topic, but anyone using CSS drop down menus?
- ganon0
yeah but with transparent flash on top, you still wouldnt be able to click on the javascript dropdowns...?

sure you would, the javascript drop down will be over the Flash, if that's what your getting at. The Flash file itself will not be transparent. I've had to deal with this problem like 10 times.

all you do is program that parameter code within the object in HTML.

ok well thats cool...i do remember the issue with ours was that the flash file was not transparent (it was filled with an image)...so then what, we tired messing with zindex, didnt help...?
- ********0
yeah forget the z-index, just change that parameter value.

what i am saying is that although this is a solution for a flash file with whitespace, it wouldnt work for a flash file without whitespace...then youre in trouble....

ahhh I see, you might be right, although I'm not sure to be honest, it might work for both.

one of my developer friends managed to fix this problem for us. He had the flash in a layer as was the menu, he basically hid the flash movie with an image, basically you hiding/showing a layer i.e on off.. will try to find the code...
