You need to add:

Code: Select all

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
to your swf object.

aha, probably a stupid question... but where exactly do i have to add that code? in the layout file? or somewhere else?

i know have:
{object src="mmslideshow.swf" width="540" height="300" param name="wmode" value="transparent"} {content}
  {content block='quotes'}

but that doesn't do the trick ;-(

Another way around (as stated in the Dutch part of the forums), is using z-index. Make sure both objects are relatively placed, and give the menu the highest z-index, that should do the trick I reckon.

ok, look at the Object tag Help and then you´ll see the correct syntax:

Code: Select all

{object src="mmslideshow.swf" width="540" height="300" param="wmode::transparent"} 
Should work, thanks for using this tag! Feel free to write me suggestions!

Thanks so much, it's working, looks a lot better now!

Still dont know why the z-index thing wasn't working... but i'll check that out later.
Thanks again for your support!
