Adding the following parameter to your flash object:

 Help with Code Tags 
 HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<param name=wmode value="transparent">
<param name=wmode value="transparent">

should work for most browsers.

You could also try absolute positioning of the menu using CSS.

Theoretically, items positioned with CSS are stacked on top of items that are not positioned with CSS.

:rolleyes:Flash menu? I dont quite understand what you mean, but i recommend you to try Sothink Tree Menu. They wrote flash programmes, aslo TreeMenu and DHTMLMenus. So i guess they are profetional in displaying drop down menu in a flash.

hi

To edit an existing HTML page, add the WMODE parameters to the HTML code.

1. Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

2. Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:

wmode="transparent"

This Will Work With All Browsers

Thank you so much! I had just the first param tag in & it didn't work. Adding that line to the embed tag did it. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. THANK YOU!!!

  <param name="movie" value="images/home_anim.swf">
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
  <embed src="images/home_anim.swf" wmode="transparent" width="834" height="300">
