Re: drop menu falls behind wrapper with flash content
-
-
Hi all... I am creating a site at
www.keystoneautomation.com
and I am having a issue with the moomenu that I am using and an iframe/wrapper. It seems that if I try to load a flash form into a wrapper that this loads on a higher level than the moomenu... this is causing the moo dropdown menu to fall behind the wrapper and it is being cut off. You can see this happening at this link...
keystoneautomation.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=215
or this one:
keystoneautomation.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=216
Problem shows up best if you hover over the "Automatic Identification" menu item when on either of the two links.
We are having to create some very long drop down menus because of the size of the site but can't have them being cut off as they are now. I was thinking that there must be some way to work around this issue with maybe a z depth setting or something but am not sure. Has anyone run into this situation before?
This is a Joomla 1.0.x installation and the moomenu choice. Assistance with this would be greatly appreciated as I really do not want to abandon the flash forms and go to another method of creating them. But that may be the only solution... I hope not.
Help would be very much appreciated on this one! Thanks! - Last Edit: 17 years 2 weeks ago by Mark A Smith.

Hi Mark,
You need to add a wmode transparent to your flash object in the code:
<param value="wmode" name="transparent"/>
see this post for more info:

Thank you for the reply. But I did already try that and tried again when you suggested it just now to make sure, but I am still loosing the menu behind the Flash form with that bit of code in place.
I will keep looking :-\

this does work but it is only part of the solution. I had to look hard to get it, but you have do do what Mike said to do first and in the same document you have to put this in the "Embed tag"
wmode="transparent"
kind of a doubled redundancy thing, but it works great!
thanks and this has been solved

Sorry, the frustration must have made me blind to that bit of info. LOL!
I have worked with Joomla for a couple of years, and as you can tell by my limited posts here, I hate to ask for help.
Thank you again
