I am using the the css horizontal dropdown menu, but i have a flash movie on the home page below the menu, the dropdowns appear behind the flash movie and i can't resolve this even though a z-index 1000 is specified in the stylesheet for the hor menu. link to site below

Change your object code to this:

<object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="194" width="650">
          <param value="images/moviehome.swf" name="movie">
          <param value="high" name="quality">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
          <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="images/moviehome.swf" height="194" width="650" wmode="transparent" ></object>

I've only tested in on FF2, but I've heard that it works on many other browser. I'd highly recommend *thoroughly* testing it.

I'm having the same issue but I dont undestand what I need to be changing based on the example above. Here is the HTML for my flash

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="400" height="300" id="test.swf" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">
<param name="movie" value="test.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<embed src="test.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="400" height="300" name="test.swf" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</object>

I hate to be dense about this but could you point me in the right direction too?

Thanks

No problem .... just replace your object code with this:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="400" height="300" id="test.swf" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">
<param name="movie" value="test.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="test.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="400" height="300" name="test.swf" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent">
</object>

That should do it for you.

Thank you it works great. Now I see what to do and can add it in whenever I change the movie.
