Default Nav bar problems using flash and fireworks - 07-24-2004 , 06:41 PM






Here is the problem... I built a navagation bar with pop up menus in fireworks
and imported it into dreamweaver. Then I made a flash movie directly below the
navagation bar. But now whenever I put my mouse of the pop up menus which would
pop up directly over the flash movie, they don't show up or i'm thinking they
are behind the movie. How do I fix this?

Don't use FW pop-up menus.

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+ (Windows only), then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter. It doesn't work in all browsers (NN4) or platforms (Windows
only) but it's implemented in the latest netscapes:
