JavaScript and Flash

[ft]

Please, please, please......
Can someone show me HOW (if it is at all possible) to have a
Javascript coded drop-down menu appear ONTOP of a Flash (.swf) image?
All iterations I've tried always force the Flash image to cover up the
drop-down menu items. There doesn't appear to be anyway to set a
priority. Flash always seems to be the upper most layer.
This always happens with Mozilla and Opera and usually (though on
occasion it will appear to work) with IE5.5 and IE6.
Basically the question is: how do you get something to lay onTOP of a
flash movie if it isn't alreay built into the .fla?
Thank you.

Good Evening all

I'm trying to call my flash with javascript and tell it to go to a specific
frame and play? I'm using

window.document.Navigation.GotoFrame(5)
o
window.document.Navigation.GotoFrame("AddFavorite" )

But this doesn't work. Why? If I use Play() it works fine, but I need it to to
a specific frame? Any Ideas
Here is the code

<script
function add2Favorites(id)
window.document.Navigation.SetVariable("PerformURL ", "ID="+id)
window.document.Navigation.GotoFrame(5)
window.document.Navigation.Play(

</script

To my knowledge there is no such javascript property under the document
object called "Navigator". To my knowledge there is no way of controlling a
flash animation with javascript. Actionscript, flash's built-in sripting
language--yes, but not with javascript--at least I don't think. If there is
I'd like to know about it too.

Javascript does work with Flash, for example these two work with Flas

window.document.Navigation.SetVariable("PerformURL ", "ID="+id)
window.document.Navigation.Play(

Only this one I can't get to work
window.document.Navigation.GotoFrame(5)

There is no sence in your script. You must use fscommand to interact Flash with javascript. Take a look at Flash help and you will find an example of such interaction.
