i didn't post this in the internet gazette forum because it can apply to versatility ii as well
i have slideshow pro running on this website www.bsakytroop12.org/content/view/6/23/
but when you open the scout troop dropdown menu, the dropdown goes under slideshow pro, how can i get it to display above SSP? - Last Edit: 18 years 4 months ago by urj2ic8.

Hi,
The way the browser layers content Flash is always on top. See this link:

The best you can do is shorten the menu or move the flash content.

Hi,
I've tried myself to come up with a solution. I coulnd not. If you find one let me know. I can use it to for something else I'm working on. I tried changing the z-index and it had not effect.
Maybe Andy knows someting?

Hi Billy, I don't know about a fix, but have you considered using another gallery - one that's not Flash?

First of all I don't know how you have embedded your flash file - but the best way to do this is with SWFobject:
blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
This gives a lot of usefull parameters and also prevent IE6 messing up the use of Flash.
When you have embedded the flash with these tools you will need to add the right parameters to avoid the dhtml going behind your flash file.
For instance an example code coul look like this and where the bold part is the key to your solution:
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "200", "100%", "7", "#336699");
so.addParam("quality", "low");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addParam("salign", "t");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
Make sure to add the code without the WYSIWYG editor or use a good editor than can handle such code.

Hi,
I did some testing with SWFObject. If you read and follow the directions it works like a charm. Basically downlaod the script add this code to your page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script> <div id="flashcontent"> This text is replaced by the Flash movie. </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "200", "100%", "7", "#336699"); so.addParam("quality", "low"); so.addParam("wmode", "transparent"); so.addParam("salign", "t"); so.write("flashcontent"); </script>
And your in business. Thank you Thomas.
Sincerely,
Mike -

Youre welcome - happy it worked..
The lines are not really important and was just taken from the page...
so.addParam("quality", "low");
so.addParam("salign", "t");
Especially the first one should be skipped - flash should run in HQ
