I have a webpage with DHTML navigation menu. On the page also have an embedded flash object. Currently when I activated a DHTML menu, the opened menu items list appear below the flash.

How could I make the DHTML menu items to appear on top of the flash object. I reckon that there will be an attribute that we could use while writing or tag for the flash object.

I hope the solution will work across all major browser (Firefox3, IE6, IE7, IE8, Chrome, and Safari).

Thanks.

  1. Flash objects are by default placed over top of DHTML. To make a Flash object rendered as part of the DOM and obey the appropriate z-index you need to set the wmode attribute to transparent as follows:

    <div class='flashthingy'>    <object width='295' height='248'>     <param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param>     <embed src='http://www.foobar.com/' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='295' height='248'></embed>   </object> </div>

    Now you can set the appropriate z-index and the Flash object should obey.
