Hello,

I created a pop up menu with a submenu in dreamweaver..... But when you view
the page and open the menu part of it gets covered up and "falls behind" a
flash animation I have... I did a PHP include to centralize the menu.... is
there any way to fix this??? here is the link to the page..

Using DW's Pop-up menu behavior? That's too bad....

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.

Someone in another group posted this example of a menu working over Flash:
http://www.northpbc.org/ Apparently what makes it work is the 2 places in
the Flash object code setting wmode to opaque. Have not tried it myself.

Works IE and FF (haven't tested others). Apparently does not work with IE5
and Safari on the Mac.

Correction - I think "buggy" in Safari, but not necessarily not working.
