Controlling Z index for Flash in MSIE

  • I installed Easy CMS and have a simple scrolling banner that resides just below the dropdown menu. In Firefox it works fine. In MSIE the Flash covers the dropdown menu.

    My client has since moved the Flash…

    resulting in an ugly repeat of the banner, so you’ll just have to trust me on the Flash covering the menu.
    My question is…. how do I control the layers? I’m guessing it is with a Z index setting somewhere.. but where?

    Thanks

  • Hi,
    Flash completely ignores z-index, it’s a separate app from your browser, so playing with it may not have any effect. (yet another reason why I don’t like Flash) What you can do is use the wmode setting in your Flash code, if you’re trying to keep Flash underneath a dropdown.

    Somewhere in your Flash app you’ll need to add code that’s something like this:

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

    Specifically, try this inside your OBJECT tags, and put it before or after the param item that’s already there.

    Good luck, D
