How do i solve this problem:

flash .swf file over laps with sidebar drop down menu
i am using the css left navigation one column menu

what code do i use and where exactly do i place it

please advice

thanks

Try parameter wmode = opaque for flash
and maybe z-indexing. (depending on your layout)
And you posted in the wrong sub forum, btw.

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 posts (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

Oke finally found the solution  after looking at many sourcecode's and compare them to mine

The parameter   must be put in the object tag in the pluggings folder, so it works fine now

For those who are suffering just like I did:

Open function_object.php (needed to use swf files in cmsms) the filelocation is somewhere in the pluging folder) just open it with a php editor like dreamweaver or so...in line 95 you'll find:



now place the following code right behind that:



upload/replace the file on the server , and the dropdownmenu works fine

Actually when using the object tag you just need to add this to the tag call, no need to change the PHP/file to get this to work...

wmode::transparent

Oke so that works to I'm still learning everyday...sometimes it's hard to get my head arround these little things couse I'm  not to familiair with coding.. But CMSMS makes live so easy! And the solution is always a click away!

thank you sincereley  for the tip!

Kind regards,
