Menu dissapeares behind Flash object

Post by ODF »

Hello, I am new to this forum and since one week very passionate about CMSMS 0.13.

I am already busy with the creation of my first website with CMSMS and all went well until I started using Flash objects.

After much trial and error I succeeded in getting a Flash object into my header.

After that I started experimenting with Flash objects in my content pages and stumbled upon an error, the expanding menu unfolds behind the Flash object.

I am using a modified version of the CSSMenu Horiz 1 col template for my website.

Is there a sollution to this problem?!

Yello!
As discussed quite a few times, you need to set the wmode=transparent when you publish the Flash movie, or embed it in the page with the same argument.

If you search the forums, you'll find several posts explaining this....

Thank you for your helpful comment. I searched the forum before I posted my question, probably used the wrong search strings.

The code in red is what you need to put in to keep the menu in front.

[Content pages]








[Stylesheet Layout CSSMenu Horiz 1C]

div#menu_horiz {
        width: 100%;
        text-align: left;
position:relative;
        z-index:2;


So, that's done.

Hi,
It wasn't meant as a nasty comment, just this problem crops up time and time again.
I said to search, as people have found different ways to get round the problem, and maybe you could
try a few different ideas...

Anyway, hope it's all sorted now!
