How to get flash object appear behind navigation?

[JiiPee]

I have a small flash movie in the top of my content area and I notised that my (horizontal style navigations) submenu-buttons will appear underneath the movie. How can I make it the other way around, so flash would stay behind and dont block the navigation?

I tried adding z-index to navigation css but could not get it right.

You probably need to add:

   

within your object tags, and add:

    wmode="transparent"

to your embed tag.

Sorry but where do I need to add those? I'm new to flash.

I have this code in my content area, so does that wmode="transparent" go somewhere in there?

Code: Select all

{object src='uploads/images/intro.swf' height='120' width='400' bgcolor::#ffffff' alt='Download Flash Player'} 

What about that other one, does it go somewhere in the function.swfobject.php?

Using that tag you would do this in the tag, like the background color...

wmode::transparent

Unfortunatly i have the same problem, i've been searching a lot but it hasn't worked out for me so far:( Hope someone can help me out here...

I use global content blocks to show swf's . To do so, I'll place a tag in my content like
{global_content name='Flash01'} the global content block itself has the following code :
{object src='images/flash/flash_01.swf' height='388' width='577' class='flashplayer' }




In some post (also on the adobe site) I read that the fix should be a easy trick, simply like this:
1. Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:



2. Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:

wmode="transparent"

I've tried to put these parameters in different area's in the code, however I cant get the dropdownmeneu appear in front of the swf yet. The flash dominates  :-[

Hope one can tell me how to exactly put the parameters in the code so the dropdownmenu will be visible...

Thanks for reading this post

If  you  look  at  the  Help  for  the  object  tag  you  will  see  some  parameters  it  takes  just  like  I  posted  above  with  ::  between  the  'name'  of  it  and  the  'value'...

Hope I said that slow enuf...

name="wmode" value="transparent"

=

wmode::transparent

You are so right , I'll use your information, couse my "invention" causes some real bad validation errors I;ve noticed

Thanks for the patience!
