Drop Down Menu Hidden By Flash in IE

http://www.extravaganzacreative.com/moonlight/test2.htm
My drop down (under "Portfolio") drops behind my Flash movie
that it should extend over. It works fine on my Mac in FF and
Safari, I am only seeing it when I test it on my PC in IE.
I have tried changing the wmode to transparent in all places
where that is relevant. I have also experimented with z-index
(although I don't know if this impacts flash movies.)
I have been stuck on this for days. Not sure if this was the
best forum to post this at because it combines various members of
the Creative Suite

Spry Drop down menu disappearing behind flash mov

Hi Can someone help? I have a spry drop down menu that appears fine in IE but in firefox it disappears behind my flash movie! it appears fine if there is just a image. Any ideas?

This is the wrong part of the forum for this type of problem, and it may be better if you post this type of question (or most questions), to the dreamweaver section.
That said check your position: absolute: statments in your css, as this is often the cause.

Drop down menu hidden in IE

I am making a website with a drop down menu and while it appears in Firefox and Safari fine it doesn't in IE. Instead it seems to be cut off when rolled over.
Would anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue?

Drop down menu hidden behind javascript slider

I have a js slider that is sitting in front of my drop down menu.
I tried the x-index in my css file using position as absolute and nothing...
Can anyone help..I am new to this. I am using Easy Rotator for the slider
Thanks
.servicesdropped {
    display: none;
    text-align: left;
    position: absolute;
    background: #172323;
    font-size: 12px;
    width: 590px;

    -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000;
    margin: 10px 0 0 20px;
    padding: 10px 20px 20px;
    z-index: 40000;

64 errors is not acceptable. You still have non-working menus owing to the malformed lists and your slider doesn't work.
I'm trying to be constructive when I say this site is seriously overdue for a re-build. The table layout with a gazillion spacer.gifs is a relic from 1990's web design. Practically speaking, this site belongs in a museum. In the long run, it would be better to re-build it with CSS layouts and modern web practices See Responsive Web Design.

Flash Drop Down Menu Help Needed

I am using this set-up for a drop-down menu:
http://www.flash-menu.net/flash_drop_down_menu/flash_drop_down_menu_component.htm
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!

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.

Link to other scenes in drop down menu

I have a drop down menu in AS2 Flash. I want to be able to link to any scene, any frame from this one menu. All I want to do is to go back to the root and then to go to the relevant scene/frame. Inside my menu (a series of buttons inside a movieclip), the code on one particular button is:
on (release) {
    _root.gotoAndStop("New", 'new1');
but it does nothing. I know very little about scripting code, so I need an easy fix.
I have tried
on (release) {
    _root_root.gotoAndStop("New", 'new1');
on (release) {
    _root.gotoAndStop(New, 'new1');
and many variations on this.
Need help please.

the goto methods don't accept a scene parameter. make sure your frame labels are unique and use the labels only.

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!
Adie

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.

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 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

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.
