Hi,

I have a problem whereby when the menu shows on a page with a wrapper then the menu goes underneath the wrapper. I presume it’s a zindex issue but where would I fix it? The wrapper contains a flash file.

The testsite isn’t publicly accessible yet but i’ve included a screen shot.

Thanks.

Hi chtru

Yo’re right, you’ll have to amend the z-index of both the moomenu and the wrapper.

Without actually taking a look at the site, it’ll be extremely difficult for anyone to help you out with the correct code.

If there is a possibility of getting the site online, then there’s a chance we can help you out.

Hi there, I´ve the same problem. After some hours of research, here´s what I found out:
Flash is always displayed on the top layer (like windows media player or quicktime plugin). You cannot use z-index to control.
Setting wmode=transparent will allow to display menu over but it’s not supported in all browsers. FireFox and IE still have problem with text field /language customizations in flash when you set wmode to transparent. So flash needs to have wmode=”transparent” hardcoded into it.
So one way is to embedd the flash directly in the content without using a wrapper. Use the Advanced tab to set the wmode to transparent.
When I´come over to another solution I´ll post it.

Hi there, here´s my final solution:
I placed a slideshow pro gallery in my wrapper. The drop down menu keeps hiding behind the wrapper …
Solution: Change a parameter in the index.html of the gallery:

line 207 –
‘wmode’, ‘window’, to ‘wmode’, ‘opaque’,
and Voila …
