    Default Flash in layer on top

    I've inserted a flash-movie in a layer. On top of this layer is another layer,
    but as soon as the Flah-movie starts to play it comes on top and therefore
    masks the elements below it. The z-index of the 'Flash' layer = 3, the z-index
    of the layer above it is 10, so you would suppose it'll work fine.
    What can I do to prevent the 'Flash' layer to come on top?

    You post would be more suited to the flash or Dreamweaver forums
    (actually it's a faq there so a search of the existing conversation would
    suffice)--that said, active content such as form elements, flash, qt etc
    "rises to the top" in a browser. For flash content setting a wmode
    parameter/attribute to transparent in the object and embed tags will work,
    however there are limitations with browser and flash player support. Search
    MM's flash support (keyword wmode or transparent) for a related technote
    which covers many of the details. -Tom Unger

    Tom,
    My posting in the wrong forum was by accident. Since this website changed from
    (almost) plain html to this Flash-mess I'm no longer able to find what I am
    looking for or (like now) post in the wrong forum.
    Thanks for your reply.

    Not a problem. I don't care for the browser based forums myself (too
    slow for my home dial-up). so I access the groups through a newsreader. Best
    of luck with your project. -Tom Unger
