  It does work on Firefox. The containing the DHTML popup needs a z-index greater then 0.

  Check out this site: http://d14684333.r200.radiowebworks.com/

  It works on my local in Firefox, but on the server the menu is STILL behind the Flash.

  Also, in Internet Explorer, how can I get rid of the Box around the flash content WITHOUT disabling my DHTML menu?

  Email me back at: chuck@triplefm.com

  Thanks for the help!

  I don’t know what happened to my post, but it does NOT work in Firefox. I made the changes, and although it worked on my local. The changes did NOT work on Firefox. Look at the site in Firefox:

  It does not work! Also, does anyone know how to get rid of the box around the flash WITHOUT getting rid of the DHTML in Internet Explorer.

  Thanks for the help. Please do not delete this post.

  Would some kind soul help me get this working on my site? I’m useless when it comes to flash, but it has a nice look on my page at the moment. I’m about to add another part to my menu which will run over onto the flash, so I need to get this issue fixed. The site I’m working on is http://64.21.158.147. If you have a moment or two to help me out, I’d appreciate it. brian [dot] zollinhofer [at] gmail

  Thanks!

  This fixes the firefox problem on windows but not on linux.

  don’t forget to add the wmode property to the embed tag to make this work for Firefox. wmode=”transparent”

• 16. joncl  |  2007-03-01 at 12.51 am

  Note, if you copy and paste wmode=”transparent” from Steves post above, it doesn’t work (at least not for me). Re-typing the double quotes did the trick though. Thanks!

  I would like to use this technique on our site. We have a popup tag box which displays when the user clicks to type something in the search box, but with the flash content on our site, particularly on the home page, the flash goes ontop of our popup DHTML tag box.

  This technique however seems to break down on Safari. The animation still flashes sometimes on top of the DHTML box. Seemingly a refresh rate problem???

  Is there a fix for safari on the mac? I am having problem finding a solution for safari. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
