hiya all

have set up a drop down menu using the pop up menu function within dreamweaver
which works really nice when i have pngs or other images underneath it in the
content fields however when i use some flash animations in the content the drop
down menu is hidden behind the flash so renders it useless - any ideas as to
how to get the pop up menu to be on top of any flash content ?

cheers and thanks in advance

yeah ok

:)

I had the same question a while ago and some kind person sent me this -
works a treat


1. Open up Flash
2. Go to File > Publish Settings and click the HTML tab.
3. Under "Window Mode," select "Opaque Windowless."
4. Click "OK," create your movie as usual and then export it.
5. In Dreamweaver, insert your Flash movie into the page.
6. On the Property Inspector, click "Parameters."
7. Under "Parameter," type "wmode" (case doesn't matter)
8. Under "Value," type "opaque"
9. Click "OK."

That's it. Your Flash movie will now act and behave like regular HTML.

In most browsers. It won't work on Mac prior to OSX and it won't work on
any machine with Opera. There may also be others. If it's just a
cosmetic thing, then go ahead and use it. If it breaks the site's
functionality, re-design to get the Flash away from the menu.
