flash banner problem

November 7, 2008

Hi All

I need to place a flash banner on my homepage under the navigation bar, but when i tried this the pop up menu which is in javascript was hidden underneith the flash banner. Does anyone know how i can cure this? mu site url is http:///www.enigmabikes.com and i want to replace the image of the 2 guys on bikes with the banner.

Any help will be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Joe

depending on how you have embedded your flash you will need a wmode param

wmode opaque

if you are embedding via the swfobject.js method (reccomended) you would need to add

so.addParam("wmode", "opaque");

 to the swfobject data

if you are embedding with the AC_FL_COntent js way (like from Dreamweaver)

you need a

<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

using wmode opaque forces the flash object to the same z index of the browser

where as not defining it the flash object isnt actually in the browser so other stuff pop or slide under it

If you need further help please PM me for more information

Your code is bogus to start with you have the param outside of where it needs to be and it should also be repeated within the embed as well

the object tags are for IE browsers the embed is for firefox

when you view source it would of course "change" depending on the BROWSER you are using

you can use this code remembering to use the full URL to your swf file (where ever it is located on your site there 2 places you NEED to edit this....)

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="887" height="349" hspace="0" vspace="0" title="Movie">

  <param name="movie" value="http://www.yoursite.com/Movie.swf" />

  <param name="quality" value="high" />

  <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

  <embed src="http://www.yoursite.com/Movie.swf" width="887" height="349" hspace="0" vspace="0" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque"></embed>

</object>

this is the old method of embedding flash you realy need to step up to the swfobject.js method (gets rid of the grey rectangle around the flash object in IE

If you would like me to do this for you please PM me for my rates
