Menus hide behind shockwave movie

[MickeyFinn6999]

Hi all,

I wnt to put a flash movie in the left handside column of the horizontal menu 2 coloumn template.

I am finding however, that when you hover over the menu items and the list expands, it is hidden behind the flash movie.

Any ideas how I stop this and have it so that the menu is on top of the flash movie?

Thanks

you need to alter the wmode parameter when you publish your flash movie.
try wmode=transparent and see how you get on. if you google for this problem, hundreds of pages will
come up to help you!

Thanks for your help.

I tried this and instead of just publishing the movie as a shockwave file, it published the movie as a shockwave file plus some html code.

Where do I put the html code using CMSMS?

the html code for the flash file will look something like this...

Code: Select all

    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="780" height="500">
      <param name="movie" value="uploads/flash/intro.swf">
      <param name="quality" value="high">
      <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
      <embed src="uploads/flash/intro.swf" width="780" height="500" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed>
    </object>

Yup, you can place this in the template/stylesheet
OR
enter the source code in fckeditor with the source button and cut n paste...

Hey all,

I tried the wmode transparent for the xspf player with lightbox album. It works in IE&, but Ff still displays the player over the lightbox picture.. www.partana.nl
