Urgent help, Menu hides under flash

[Melliska]

I used PVII Auto Hide and PVII Snap layers to create this menu:
[url]http://www.tomkt.com/main.html[/url]



the menu is hiding under the flash, is there any way to avoid this?
It seems to be a problem on a PC, particularly.
I thought my ob was done here, and now I discover that it is not.
I need help fast

thanks!

Thanks, I tried creating a transparent Flash movie, still no luck.

What I do wonder though, is that if the movie itself should be on a layer -
rather than just inside cell....
I created this page using a template that contains the menu at the top, the
movie then is in the cell below it, which is the only editable
region in the template.

The template contains layers that make up the navigational menu at the top.

any light that anyone could shed on this would be great!
Thanks,

It looks like you did not add the wmode parameter within the page code. Did you only do it within Flash? When I downloaded your file and followed the instructions in the "Using Dreamweaver" section of this page it worked as I believe you want it to:

You could set various zindex's in your CSS' Div's to make things appear 'on
top' of other div's. But really, it's not the complete solution. But if you
want an example, go to [url]http://www.offbeat.com/[/url] and peek at the CSS.

Hello Melliska,

I am trying to fix the same flash menu issue that you had. It currently works
in IE but not Firefox. I can not seem to figure it out though.

Here is my code.

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#
version=7,0,19,0','wmode','transparent','width','7 28','height','360','src','/_te
mplates/RPS-Home-Flash','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.co
m/go/getflashplayer','movie','/_templates/RPS-Home-Flash' ); //end AC code
</script>

<noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve
rsion=7,0,19,0" width="728" height="360">
<param name="movie" value="/_templates/RPS-Home-Flash.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="/_templates/RPS-Home-Flash.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" width="728"
height="360"></embed>
</object></noscript>

I see that your example is working in both IE and Firefox now. How did you fix
it?

Any help would be great. :)

see post above:

I had to do something to the flash file and the dw file that contained the
flash movie.
basically switching the mode to transparent. The above Adobe link should walk
you through it.

the second link is an example.
Hope this helps, I also marked the post that was the answer.
