 My flash intro covered my dropdown menu
I made a dropdown menu and below that is a flash intro.
I tested on my Mac using Firefox and it looks fine BUT when I test it in PC using Firefox and IE, the flash intro covers my dropdown sub menu.
how to get rid of that?
NEED HELP PLZ!! this is very frustrating...... im ready to go out and yell my throat out... been fixing this for days.......
Code:
<style type="text/css">
#dd {
padding: 0 0 0 0;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
}
#dd li {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
float: left;
font: 11px arial;
}
#dd li a.menu {
display: block;
text-align: center;
background: #1F3D5C;
margin: 0 0px 0 0;
color: #FFF;
width: 160px;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 2px 2px;
}
#dd li a.menu:hover {
background-color: #769888;
}
.submenu {
background: #EAEBD8;
border: 1px solid #5970B2;
visibility: hidden;
position: absolute;
z-index: 3;
width:160px;
}
.submenu a {
display: block;
font: 11px arial;
text-align: left;
text-decoration: none;
color: #2875DE;
padding: 1px;
z-index: 3;

I think you need to use z-index or something, try googling for "z-index flash"

You need to set the wmode on the flash to transparent:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
If you're using SWFobject or similar, how you declare it is slightly different, just read the documentation on how to define parameters.

You need to put the flash inside a position:relative container and set its z-index to 0, and add a bigger z-index to the position:absolute menu.
Sometimes, it works correctly if you just put the positioning for the elements.
Rochow, it's not a transparency problem. It's a z-index/positioning problem.

do what the others said, and if it doesn't work, add "<param name="wmode" value="opaque">" to your object tag and in the embed-tag this: wmode="opaque"
hope you get what I mean..

Incorrect. You can't use any layering to get flash OVER an element; That's entirely related to flash.
If you're using SWFObject:
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("carousel_v2.swf", "755", "300", "8", "#fff");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.write("carousel_wrap");
</script>
|
The addParam needs to be before any other rules that you're using, otherwise it won't work properly.
It's best to use transparent over opaque as well.

I thought the problem was that the drop down menu, which is a CSS menu is displaying under the flash, instead of over it, right?
If so, Flash should have nothing to do with it. I may be wrong though, cause, I know CSS and XHTML like my back pocket, but I suck at all that is flash.

The problem is that the FLASH is displaying over the CSS dropdown menu not vice-versa. Thus, adding in that parameter that a few of us have mentioned.

I'm just trying to understand this better.
Wouldn't making flash transparent make the menu visible, but not clickable?
Thanks for the info jordanriane!
