<div> tag and a flash movie... how do you keep the div above the flash?

Question

For example lets say you have a drop down menu in a div tag, and a flash movie underneath.... any swf for example... if u click the drop down menu, it hides behind the flash movie, I think because the flash is layered.. is there any way around this???

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, let me just make it clear, I don't want to change the positions, I want them the way they are except I want whats in the

above the flash... is that possible?

Stupid answers.

What you need is CSS. I saw this problem on many poor made sites. You need to asign the folowing css rule to the divs in question (the menu divs) div.menu{ z-index: 200;}

Now that number is way off, you can assign the flash z-index:1 and for the div z-index: 2. You just have to have a bigger number for what you want on top.

Even if you were able to somehow get your div to render, I doubt it would do so across different browsers, let alone be functional enough to use as a menu.

I'm not sure what your layout looks like, but you might want to consider changing your embed method. Geoff Stearns' swf object is probably the best out there, it provides a ton of flexibility in terms of positioning the flash exactly where you want it:

I also have noted this problem. it is a limitation with browsers that render dropdown list behind Flash even if it is nested inside a

tag on top of the Flash.
So you may change your mind on your layout or use a custom HTML menu (list of hyperlinks) instead of dropdown menu.

I didn't know about CSS though, so perhaps that solves the problem :-)

No. Why is all of us so speedy to make issues sexual? those rumors were round continuously and new ones are stoning up each and every of the time. they are purely the proper results of those with a foul humorousness attempting to convolude Disney's photo. And SFX turned right into a tribute to the sound application used contained in the movie, no longer a sublimal message encouraging little children to have sex. purely earnings from the flicks with out attempting to decipher nonexistant messages.

Use the source code to change the positions

have a drop up menu.
