Flash pic hiding drop menus

Post by Ulysses »

Hi

Added a flash picture on the home page, just below the horizontal menu bar, using the following in the home page tremplate and Global Content Block. 

Code: Select all

TPLHomePage

<div id="home_bridge_pic">
{global_content name='home_bridge_pic'}
</div>

Code: Select all

home_bridge_pic

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="720" height="405" src="../flash/homepic.swf" quality="1" wmode="Window" menu="true" loop="true" play="true" scale="ShowAll" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
The trouble is that the drop down sub-menu items do not show over the Flash pic.  The drop menus are hidden behind the flash and so are not clickable.

Is there a cure for this?

Thanks

No worries mark.  I searched the forum too, and the second post in the results was this thread.  ::)

Don't worry, will figure it out.
