Arranging flash?

[Fudge1013]

Hey,
If you look on my site linked below you will see a flash advertisment banner in the top, centre of the page. The products menu to the left though apears behind it when you roll over.
How can i fix this so that the products menu appears at the front.

Thanks
Ash

Is the flash absolutely positioned?

[Fudge1013]

nope its not?!?!

Give the <div> containing the menu an id and set the z-index to say 10 (in the actinic.css) to bring it above the other elements

I'd contact the script writer for your menu, i presume it's a custom made menu as i havn't seen it as standard before. Maybe something can be done to have it on top at all times. Sorry i cannot be of any further help, many of these problems are either incorrect sizing or absolute positioning, yours may not be.

I thought z-index only worked on positioned elements? Nice fix if it works!

Change the flash to an animated gif or a static image

Position with "0" offset to the containing <div>

A well known problem with Flash and dynamic content. See http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowled...fm?id=tn_15523 or search the 'net for e.g. "menu overlaps flash".

Ashley - can you let everyone know which solution worked as may be of use to others with the same issue.

Adding this to our site stopped flash from appearing over our menu.

Drillpine.biz - NorList was the menu we were using.

<PARAM NAME="WMode" VALUE="Transparent">
