Dropdowns over Flash

I'm trying to develop a dropdown navigation but it won't show properly over
Flash, it'll work in Safari but not Firefox, and especially on a PC ie6+7

Are there any workarounds?

You need to set the wmode parameter - see this (it's a long url, make sure
you have it all)

brilliant, sounds like thats a solution. thank you very much

Hi,
You must set the wmode parameter. In dreamweaver select your flash movie, in
the Properties menu select Parameters. In Parameter insert: wmode, in Value
insert: opaque or transparent.
I hope this fix your problem.

Happy new year.

Not always reliable, however - particularly in Safari.

Were you able to get the menu to work properly in Firefox after adding the
wmode parameter? I was having the same problem, included wmode=transparent and
still had the menu hiding behind the flash movie in Firefox. Thanks for any
info.

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+, then you can use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this properly!).
