z-index

[Scott]

Hi group

have a javascript drop down menu ....all works fine..

then I put a flash movie in the center of the page and now the menu opens
behind the falsh movie ... how can I change it so it vil appear over the
flash movie...

I believe it has something to do with the z-index ...but the only thing I
can find are the following:
.......

var body=menu.bodys[st_cumbi];
if(st_cumbi) getpar(body).su b=[st_cumei,st_cum bi];
body.z_index= !st_cumbi ? 1000 : getpar(getpar(b ody)).z_index+1 0;
if(body.offset= ="auto")
{
if(st_cumbi)
body.offset=get par(getpar(body )).arrange=="ve rtically" ? "right" :
"down";
else
body.offset= "down";
.......

Do anyone have a solution ?

I (and most certainly everyone else, too) have not the slightest idea what
you are up to, particularly because all the objects and properties you are
using are not built-ins in any known HTML UA's DOM. Post the URL instead.

If I recall correctly, I'm afraid there isn't one. It's simply down to how
the Flash plug-in renders the animation.

It's similar to the behaviour shown by some form elements. The SELECT
element, for example, has a tendency to disallow anything to appear above
it (in a z-index sense) because the browser leaves rendering to the
operating system.

If it can be solved using manipulation of the z-index, it's easier to do
it through CSS than JavaScript. The CSS property is "z-index". The higher
the number, the higher the element.

Good luck,
Mike

I believe you can't put anything on top of a flash movie.. I remember
when I first started using Flash I was very excited about the prospect
of using Flash in combination with DHTML.. until I found out the hard
way (and by asking right here..) that you can never put anything on top
of a flash movie, that no matter what you do browsers always put Flash
movies on top of everything else.. I would love to be wrong about this,
if I am someone pls tell me!!.. :) ... Frances

An iFrame will also appear in front ignoring the z-index. Just
rearrange the page so the division does not appear in the same spot as
the flash movie.
