Flash movie overlapping CSSMenu

Post by areimann »

It works great with Safari and Firefox 3 on my Mac.

On my PC, the CSS drop-down menu is covered up by the Flash movie in IE7 and Firefox 3.

Here are somethings I have tried and is still in the code:

#flashmovie {   
and
wmode="transparent"

All of those things are in the correct place, as far as I can tell.

So, can anyone with a PC please check out and see what you think the problem might be?  Put your mouse over the main "buttons" and you will see what I am talking about.

I think you might want to try the object tag, is a plugin to do this and it makes it w3c compliant as I see a bunch of warnings...

I installed it, but it isn't very on how to use a .swf that calls the .flv (the .flv variable is normally declared in the html).  If you look at the code, that is what it is doing.

I'll keep digging though.....

You need an iframe behind the menus. I would use the bgiframe jquery plugin. It is easy to install and use and has a small footprint.

Try removing the z-index attributes from both styles.

Hello,

you can do the same using the object tag.

read the object tag help, and see how to inject params and flashvars, will always save a lot of time, and make your code compliant.

if you have any questions let me know.

Regards.
