    CSS Menu and Flash Layer issues

    epic306 Community Member
      Hi,

      I'm working on a site that has a horizontal html CSS drop down menu, with a flash animation just below the first level of the CSS menu. The problem is, I can't see the drop down menu buttons, there being displayed behind the flash animation. How can I change the layers or levels of these two objects, so the CSS menu is positioned and displayed over the Flash animation. I can send you a link of what I'm talking about.

          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!).

            Take a look at this site. When your on the "amenities" page, he has a swf with scrollable text just below the menu, but the html menu "models" still works and is on the layer above the swf. I have a similar layout and want to keep the css menu and have an swf on the layer below it. How can I achieve this?
