2. Re: Objects overlapping in Chrome (z-index issue??)
adninjastrator Jan 5, 2012 10:31 PM (in response to x_defect)Here is why gramp's suggestion is good:
Window Mode (wmode) - What's It For?
There are three window modes.
Window
Opaque
Transparent
By default, the Flash Player gets its own hWnd in Windows. This means that the Flash movie actually exists in a display instance within Windows that lives above the core browser display window. So though it appears to be in the browser window, technically, it isn't. It is most efficient for Flash to draw this way and this is the fastest, most efficient rendering mode. However, it is drawing independently of the browser's HTML rendering surface. This is why this default mode (which is equivalent to wmode="window") doesn't allow proper compositing with DHTML layers. This is why your JavaScripted drop-down menus will drop behind your Flash movie.
In windowless modes (like opaque), Flash Player doesn't have a hWnd. This means that the browser tells the Flash Player when and where to draw onto the browser's own rendering surface. The Flash movie is no longer being rendered on a higher level if you will. It's right there in the page with the rest of the page elements. The Flash buffer is simply drawn into whatever rectangle the browser says, with any Flash stage space not occupied by objects receiving the movie's background color.Best wishes,

3. Re: Objects overlapping in Chrome (z-index issue??)
x_defect Jan 6, 2012 9:44 AM (in response to adninjastrator)I just uploaded the updated version using the suggested code at this link - http://atenndesign.com/branding-KLG-new.html
I added it below the original code:
<param name="movie" value="Flash/branding-KLG.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
Still having the same issue though. Any thoughts?

4. Re: Objects overlapping in Chrome (z-index issue??)
adninjastrator Jan 6, 2012 9:59 AM (in response to x_defect)I never could figure out why anyone would want to use
AC_FL_RunContent
plus the old <object> and <embed> tags..... oh well..
anyway, the <embed> is missing the wmode param, which is probably the problem, add to <embed.....
wmode="transparent"
or use a more updated <object> method and DO NOT use AC_FL or the <embed> just this single <object>
<object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie"><param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf"><param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue"></object>or better yet, use swfobject:
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
Best wishes,

5. Re: Objects overlapping in Chrome (z-index issue??)
x_defect Jan 6, 2012 11:55 AM (in response to adninjastrator)I used option 2 (<object> method) and it worked - thanks!!!
I was using the AC_FL_RunContent since that's just what DW generates automatically when I insert a Flash movie in CS3. Is this something that's been fixed in later versions?
