1. Re: spry menu displays behind video content
Newsgroup_User Sep 18, 2007 1:30 PM (in response to RGracia)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!).

2. Re: spry menu displays behind video content
deesadler Sep 18, 2007 2:57 PM (in response to RGracia)If it's Flash, add a new parameter to your video code.
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Flash is always at a 0 Z index and always above everything else, unless you set the window mode to transparent. Works with a flash file under CSS drop down menus too. Hope that helped in some way.

4. Re: spry menu displays behind video content
Newsgroup_User Sep 18, 2007 3:32 PM (in response to RGracia)That's OK. And by the way, there's no z-index involved in this. It's that
Flash is constantly being redrawn on the page, hence Active content.

7. Re: spry menu displays behind video content
RGracia Sep 19, 2007 6:01 AM (in response to RGracia)well unfortunately the <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> trick had no effect on the page. I guess I will have to move that flash video box elsewhere on the layout, what a pain!
