[SWFObject] Getting Html to sit over flash inserted withSwfObjectvs FlashObject

Tue Dec 12 16:11:21 PST 2006

It seems like Maak is talking about HTML sitting over Flash, not the
other way around. Wouldn't setting transparent mode only affect how the
flash movie operates - ie., it lets what's behind the Flash movie show
through. I think Maak has a HTML menu that he wants to appear over the
top of the Flash - which seems like a different problem.

Hi Maak

I experienced the same issue when I moved from FLASHobject to SWFObject.
It was quickluy solved by including a parameter as in the following
example

so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");

	Sometimes html or xhtml needs to sit over flash like a
javascript drop or fly out menu or a standard drop/jump menu. Or you may
want to launch something into a div that is positioned over other
content including flash.

	I can do this if i use FLASHobject but not SWFobject. What
changed in swfobject so this is not possible?????

	Of course this may have something to to do with doctype though
that has remained constant and it's working well for me.
	DocType I have used is

	<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd> ">
	<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml> ">

	I hope someone can help with this
