Hi,

The drop down is going behind the flash file here on Fire Fox. I don't have access to the source codes for the flash file.

Please see the code here. What edits / changes can i do to the code to make the drop down come on the front on all browsers.

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shoc ... on=9,0,0,0"
width="460" height="270" id="gallery" align="middle"> //pp <param
value="opaque" name="wmode"> //pp <param name="allowScriptAccess"
value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="movie" value="gallery.swf" /><param name="quality"
value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /> <embed
src="gallery.swf" wmode="opaque" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000"
width="460" height="270" name="gallery" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> </object>

Thanks in advance.

This is a limitation of the browser. You are probably going to have to put your menu code into an iFrame to layer it properly when rendered. Or, use a Javascript library that takes care of z-indexing for you. I think jQuery offers some menus that handle that for you.

by panic!
Also this will only work if they have a newer version of Flash player installed, until quite recently it was impossible to have anything on top of a Flash embed..Very annoying!
