Drop-down menu cut off by Flash component

Hi,
I am using Flash CS3.
I have a drop-down menu and a Flash component immediately
below it. When I hover over the menu item, it opens downwards but
gets cut off by the Flash component.
This doesn't happen if I replace the Flash component with a
picture.
Any advice what could be done will be much
appreciated.

Adding parameter wmode="transparent" to both Flash parameter
tags and embed tag solved this issue for me.

Drop down menu in front of Flash

I've read dozens of posts on this topics and the answers are always the same: add this tag to the parameter section of your Flash code: <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> and add this to your embed tag: mode="transparent". But it simply doesn't work in IE. Please view www.beidun.com to see.
Any other suggestions at all? I'm ready to tear my hair out.

On the <embed> tag, you have this:
<embed src="entry.swf" mode="transparent" quality="high"...
It should be this:
<embed src="entry.swf" wmode="transparent" quality="high"...
Now look for the AC code, right above your object tag. It starts like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase'...
insert this directly before the 'width':
'wmode','opaque',
This should take care of the problem so that the swf file is behind the drop-down menu.
Now you have another problem with the drop-down menu not working at all in IE6. This is a separate problem from the swf file problem we just resolved. I looked at your code and it is a classic example why we design with css instead of tables and tables nested inside tables. It would take someone hours to wade through all that clutter and figure out where to begin. This is not a complicated layout; my advice is to redesign the page using css.

Drop-down list cut off

Hello,
I am using LiveCycle Designer 7.1 and I have a problem with a drop-down list in a dynamic form.
The list is at the end of the page and has got lots of items, so when the user tries to scroll down the list the first time it is cut. The next times the list drops down the page and goes to the following page but only items on the page of the drop down can be selected using the mouse.
The only two walk around I found are
1) making the form static (but in this case I cannot use dynamic fields anymore, and I need them)
2) force the user to go down the list with the arrows...
I have tried this in an empty form, just to be sure that it is not a problem caused by scripts or other objects.
Please let me know if you have the same problem or if I made something wrong!

This is an example of the form:
https://share.adobe.com/adc/document.do?docid=e23eead9-a31f-11dc-8fe2-d702873d34e2
Please let me know if it works and what version of the Reader are you using.
Thank you very much!

Flash Animation Blocks Drop-Down Menu

I added a simple flash animation (slideshow) to a site I am
working on which is located under the navigation bar that has a
drop-down menu (created in Fireworks). When I preview the site in
Firefox or Internet Explorer on a PC, the drop-down menu is behind
the flash animation and all of the links cannot be seen. Is there
an easy solution to this problem?
Thank you,
Troy

Drop Down Menu Component

I have completed a tutorial for a drop down menu. I test the
movie and clicking on a submenu item named Save under a main menu
heading named File and using a trace action, correctly identifies
the item as shown in the attached code. However, I don't know how
to use this result to then proceed to a movie clip named "Save".
(These are just sample names for my trials.) I would have thought
if I put a movie clip named Save with a frame label "Save", I could
just replace the trace (e) code with gotoAndPlay(e); The logic is
working to a point, as when I do this, I get a compiler error
saying there is no label "Save" on Scene 1, so Flash is attempting
to find the correct target. This is the compiler message
"[MenuEvent type="itemSelected" bubbles=false cancelable=false
eventPhase=2 menuIndex=0 menuLabel="File" itemIndex=1
itemLabel="Save"]
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label [MenuEvent
type="itemSelected" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2
menuIndex=0 menuLabel="File" itemIndex=1 itemLabel="Save"] not
found in scene Scene 1.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
at test_fla::MainTimeline/handleItemSelected()
at
flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at
fl.example::MenuBar/fl.example:MenuBar::menuMouseHandler()"
I am wondering if a frame label and an indexLabel are two
different things?
I am using Action Script 3 strictly. Anybody out there with
any ideas?
Thank you.

Can you post a link to an example page where the menu is duplicated? Also, what version of GoLive are you using? The first thing that comes to mind is that the ID that the script relies on is being changed by GoLive to make it unique for each Component... why that results in it being duplicated I don't know yet, unless the script doesn't find what it's looking for, and then generates it automatically.

Flash Drop Down Menu

Hi all
I am learning ActionScript 2.0 for about 6 months and I have
created a flash based website. My question is how to allow a drop
down menu to animate outside of a Shockwave files boundaries.
I have seen Flash menus that do this and also I have
seen some banner ads that allow animation to display outside of the
swf file.
Is there any tutorials or information out there that I can
learn, or could somebody give me an idea of what to do. I
understand how to use the Menu component and how to create a
regular drop down menu within the boundaries of a swf file
javono
www.javono.com

you can't visibly animate flash objects outside the stage
boundaries. you can appear to do so using div tags so that's what
you should check.

Flash Drop Down Menu Help Needed

I am using this set-up for a drop-down menu:

I'm usign the vertical setup: http://flash-menu.net/flash_drop_down_menu/download_vertical_drop_down_menu_free.htm
I want to put it both on a static html page (for those who do not have FLASH installed), as well as the FLASH site.
This is the site: http://www.miltongordonussenate.com/flash/index.html
I want to put this menu on both the Campaign page, AND the Links page.
I have the seperate parts- the swf file, the html file, and the jscript file. I don't know if I am uploading the seperate files in the wrong place, or if I am just completely off base.
Can someone help me with this, please?

Ok, I see several people have looked, but no one has answered.
Is there a better way to do what I want to do? Any help is appreciated!

Problems with flash transparent drop down menu over html in some browsers

Hi everyone... this is my first post and it's about an issue
that's causing me a few problems.
I'm currently designing/ building my company's web site, the
test page be viewed here: www.musflashtv.com/test.htm
1) This layout contains an embeded flash movie (.swf) with a
transparent background, this is the main navigation.
The flash navigation has a drop down menu that animates down
and covers the html page (containing links) below.
The problem is that in most current browsers such as; Firefox
2.0.05 (links below template don't work), Netscape 8.1.3
(navigation drop down and links don't work) and Opera 9.10 (links
below template don't work), any links just below the 'invisible'
transparent area coverd by the navigation can't be clicked 'through
the flash file'. The exception is IE 7.0, everything is fine there.
(it hasn't been tested in any mac browsers though).
Because the area below the navigation on
www.kitachi.info/work is one large dummy jpeg file, the link below
would be a much better example to look at.
http://www.musflashtv.com/shows/ind...tlight-Sessions
The flash navigation is embedded in the html (tlp) template
file using the code below and aligned using an external style
(.css) sheet, this html code not only embeds the flash movie but it
also tells the browser to display it's background and as
transparent. The flash movie is embedded in a layer that sits above
the table.
3) The flash embed code:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
name="shows-navigation-tranparent" width="851" height="300"
align="top" class="flash-navigation"
id="shows-navigation-tranparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie"
value="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
<embed src="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" width="851"
height="300" align="top" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
bgcolor="#000000" name="navigation-tranparent"
allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
scale="exactfit" />
</object>
Does anybody know of any code that can solve this problem or
know a different way of creating a flash navigation with a drop
menu that can be embeded over html?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated especially as
this issue is holding back progress in a big way.
Thanks in advance guys!

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
last
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

On the Firefox drop down menu for Firefox 4, the tab for cut, copy and paste is not highlighted. Is there another way for me to include this on the Firefox start page?

I have Firefox 4. In the Firefox drop down menu, there is an option to cut, copy and paste but it is not highlighted. Please tell me how to highlight this link. Or is there a way to have a cut copy and paste tab?

Those links in the Edit menu are only highlighted if there is something to do: 
Paste should be enabled if the clipboard has data placed on it by a previous Copy or Cut and you have set focus on a text area or field that allows to paste that data.
Copy works if some text is selected.

Spry Tabbed Panels overwritting Flash drop down menu in IE

I am having an issue with Spry Tabbed Panels appearing above
a Flash drop down menu in IE6 & IE7 but it works fine in
Firefox. Would someone be able to educate me on what I can do to
fix this problem. The page that is exhibiting this problem is
http://us.shuttle.com/performance.aspx
I’ve tried adding “WMODE” to my flash menu,
also updated “SpryTabbedPanels.js to version 0.5 –
pre-release 1.6”, but neither way is
helping…….

Thank you very much for the suggestion. Yes, this is how I
tried:
.TabbedPanels {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
float: left;
clear: none;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1000;
I’ve been tried setting Z-index to from 50 to 2000 in
attached css, but still not working.

Flash file is covering my drop down menu

please help. I've created a horizontal drop down navigation
in fireworks 8 and imported it into dreamweaver mx - i also have a
flash file just under my navigation. my problem is that when i view
my html document my my flash file is covering up my drop down menu.
Any advice??? Thanks in advance!

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
properly!).

Flash Drop Down Menu Buttons

I was under the impression that Flash allowed one to place
buttons within buttons. Basically I am trying to create a simple
drop down navigation menu. A simple horizontal bar with four
buttons that change color and drop down menus as the viewer scrolls
over the buttons. I would then like the drop down text titles to
change color as the viewer scrolls over the individual items on the
drop down menu. When the viewer clicked on the title ("down"
position) it would once again change color. Thank you.

I ended up doing just what you suggested and everything in
the Universe is back in place.
Thank you.
