JavaScript drop-down menus and Flash

[skankin]

We are building a site which is fundamentally HTML, but the client wants a Flash movie at the top of the page (under the menus). The problem is that the menus need to have drop-downs (JavaScript generated using Dreamweaver MX 2004), but the Flash movie is always infront of them.

Has anyone come accross a fix for this?

Cheers.

there is an easy fix insert this line of code after this

codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="440" height="357">

Insert this line

<param name="WMode" value="transparent">

if that works, wow. Thats sweet, i ran into the same problem, but ended up creating the dropdowns in flash as well.

Yes this works on I.E & Netscape 7 on PC. It also seems to work on Safari on Mac. I haven't tested it on I.E on Mac yet.

You may also need to put this:

wmode="transparent"

in the <embed> tag.
