hi,

i have a page which uses a javascript menu. below the menu is an image. i intend to change this from a single static image, to an animation which fades from one image to the next. the java applet i use for the animation works fine, but the trouble is, it hides the javascript menu.

is there any way to push the menu "on top" of the java applet? would it be possible to use flash instead (ie, have the javascript menu show up on top of the flash animation?)

thanks!
Shai

I've seen it done on sites with the menu over flash. http://www.giga-byte.com is an example.

I'm not sure if it's possible on gettign the java behind the menu though.

Did you ever figure out how to do this? I am having the same problem. Please pass on the goodness.

Hi,

This is a known issue for form elements and flash movies. I'have seen different ways how to do it, one by placing the applet in a div with a low z-index. But this solution doesn't work cross-browser.

I'have solved it by hiding the layer with the applet onmouseover and showing it again onmouseout. Here is an example:

Hiding flash didn't work in Opera 5/6, because the flash movie, once hidden, didn't show up anymore.

Hey,

Come' on, my solution isn't good enough. I've been quite sure, there's an guru out there, who could provide a better solution, how to do it.

Simple, a solution for each browser must be out there. TwoD you have a better solution.

Fix it, please please

Hi all, to show a javascript menu up on top of the flash animation
Add the following parameter to the flash OBJECT tag:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Add the following parameter to the flash EMBED tag:
wmode="transparent"

and that's it
