Dear all,<br><br>For the Flash file covering the CSS drop down menu problem, is that what you want to achieve, just like the new Adobe homepage?<br><a href="http://www.adobe.com/">http://www.adobe.com/</a> <br>You can see the drop down menu covering the flash file.
<br><br>Can we find any cludes from the adobe homepage?<br><br>Cheers,<br>IvaN<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/22/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Brion Keith Mills</b> <<a href="mailto:brion.keith@gmail.com">

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">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.</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">If you look at this site ( <a href="http://www.ellesco.co.uk/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://www.ellesco.co.uk</a> ) 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.</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I will try and remember exactly where I
got the drop down menu from.</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Hope this helps.</span></font></p>

I <i><span style="font-style: italic;">am</span></i> using wmode=transparent. The
browser in question is IE6 on Virtual PC -- although I imagine it is no
different on an actual PC.<br>

overlaying things, it just depends on the browser and what you are placing on

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