back and I got it to work fine. What I did find however is that not all the

said it probably isn’t a problem with the swfobject but more with the js
code.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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

working over flash.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I <i><span style='font-style:italic'>am</span></i> using wmode=transparent. The

<br>
<span class=e>Let me first start off by both thanking and congradulating you on
your success with swfObject.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=e>I am contacting you regarding an issue that was brought up in
your "Why don't you use FlashObject?" post.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=e>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.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=e>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. </span><br>
<br>
<span class=e>If you have the time, could you please show me a contextual
example of how this should work?</span><br>
<br>
<span class=e>Thanks again for all of your hard work!</span><br>
