Menus showing up behind Flash animation.

superdan · 05-12-2009, 08:18 PM

I recently designed a site for a food delivery business and their main logo is a SWF flash animation. Unfortunately the site layout is based on frames (software ordering restriction) and when a menu is hovered over a pop up shows up. The problem is that the pop up information is showing up under the flash animation. Is there something in the code I can change to make this work? Not sure why it's behaving this way.

The URL is: http://www.gruboutdelivery.com

Thanks in advance for any help. If this is the wrong place to post this, I apologize...it's my first post.

Hi SuperDan - the reason your menu is showing up BEHIND the flash is because you must set your display property in flash.

When you use 'wmode' opaque - that basically sets your flash to display above all other HTML.

Try setting 'wmode' to transparent or window in dreamweaver. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14201.html

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply. I tried changing just the code to transparent but that didn't work. I don't have access to my home pc right now to change the setting in DreamWeaver. I'll try it from there and see if it will work.
