[SWFObject] SWF Object and CSS drop menus

[Michael Ypes]

Hi Brion

 

I had to do exactly the same thing a while back and I got it to work fine.
What I did find however is that not all the cross browser (supposedly)
compliant js dropdowns worked cross browser. As Geoff said it probably isn't
a problem with the swfobject but more with the js code.

 

If you look at this site ( http://www.ellesco.co.uk
<http://www.ellesco.co.uk/>  ) it does exactly what you want. Feel free to
rip it out and use it. The drop down is done using bullet lists aswell so it
is search engine friendly. Can't quite remember where I got it from but it
is a well known drop down solution which I have got working over flash.

 

I will try and remember exactly where I got the drop down menu from.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers

 

M

Thanks for your promt response!

I am using wmode=transparent. The browser in question is IE6 on Virtual PC
-- although I imagine it is no different on an actual PC.

Here is the URL I'm working on: http://65.115.104.39/1105Media/index_v3.html

swfobject doesn't do anything special in terms of overlaying things over it.


 

if you are using wmode=transparent/opaque and it doesn't work, there's not
really anything else you can do.

 

flash has always been really finicky when it comes to overlaying things, it
just depends on the browser and what you are placing on top of it.

Hello Geoff,

Let me first start off by both thanking and congradulating you on your
success with swfObject.

I am contacting you regarding an issue that was brought up in your "Why
don't you use FlashObject?" post.

In the comments section, a user addressed the problems with Flash
transparency. I implemented your suggestion to place the fo.write after all
of the parameters. I did that and it worked partially.

I am using a CSS drop menu, with a touch of javascript. FF of course doesn't
cause any issues. However, IE6 doesn't agree with this at all. Upon rolling
over the menu, the flash movie still forces the menu items behind it. I have
tried a number of z-index solutions with no success. 

If you have the time, could you please show me a contextual example of how
this should work?

Thanks again for all of your hard work!

Brion
