DHTML menu going behind flash animation in Opera

Hi

I have designed a simple DHTML menu which comes over a flash animation
when it appears. I have set the window mode as transparent in the flash
project. This menu is showing fine when seen with IE, Netscape,
Firefox. Yet in Opera the menu is going behind the flash animation.

Can anyone suggest a solution to solve this issue.

Thanks

You tried using z-index in the css which desribes the menu?

best way is to never use flash ! :-(

or ... only for what there is any other choice
(i.e. an automatic demo -> sit and see)

I think Opera 8 (only on Win) supports wmode for Flash, earlier versions
not.
And as I understand wmode for Flash works only on the Windows platform,
whatever browser you use, so Firefox users on the Mac or on LINUX for
instance might still have the problem that the Flash movie sits on top
of your DHTML menu.
Thus on the web in general if you expect all kind of users with
different browsers and different versions of browsers on different
platforms you can't rely on CSS z-index stacking of normal HTML content
and Plugin content like Flash content, even if it works with a few
versions of browsers on some platforms.

You might try this IE IFrame/div shim trick
(http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/jkin...0/30/2975.aspx) -
no guarantees that it will work for Opera though.

Good luck,

That's not entirely accurate. WMode works on other platforms (including
Mac OS X). But it is still limited in many ways - it only works in
Safari 1.2+ for example, and on most platforms flash player 6 (r65) is
required.

WMode info:

"DHTML Layers" info:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/kn...fm?id=tn_15523

I've never tested this on Linux.

To answer your actual question - it does look like you are out of luck
with transparency on most versions of Opera - the latest version 8.02
does support the transparent mode though.

Hi, everybody, I have developed a very nice javascript-based navigation structure. My customer wants to have a flash film on his very first site which already has to have this navigation. And now the effect: Whenever the flash film is running, the navigation submenus are not displayed ABOVE this flash film, but BEHIND it. As far as I have tried, there is no way to influence this behaviour with the "z-index" and different values. Is...

I have a menu that is just above a flash animation. Problem is the menu is hidden by the flash app. I understand this is a problem that can't be fixed with NN. IE5 and Mozilla don't work either, but the problem doesn't happen with IE6. Is there a fix for this problem yet? Thanks Jim

Hi all, I'm having a hard time with the use of my DHTML menu and video on my site. The video is served using Windows Media Player. Short of hiding it, I can't seem to get my DHTML menu to appear above the video. Unfortunately, I have noticed that hiding the video caused the browser to flash several times. Does anyone know of anything I can implement that would minimize the client side impact and also allow my menu to appear on top of...
