Dropdowns & Flash movie - 10/8/2008 11:27:11   
I have a Flash movie at http://d1000517.site.infoquest.com/saint/movie.html The site has horizontal dropdown navigation directly above it. The problem is that I cannot get the navigation to drop on top of the movie. The paragraph that centers the movie has a z-index of -99 but that did not help. Does anyone have any suggestions?



BTW - This site will launch one day Tailside.

Add this:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

and this in the embed tag:

wmode="transparent"

Not 100% positive but I think that should do it.

What Rangler said should do it.

Z-Index only works on positioned items (eg absolutely positioned).

That did not solve the problem. (continuing to scratch head and saying hmmmm)

In your javascript above your object, try this from Flahden.net along with the other changes you made.

If your HTML contains a javascript section with a line like

‘wmode’, ‘window’,

change it to

‘wmode’, ‘transparent’,


Other then that, don't know what else to try.
