Hi there,
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? Couldn´t find a solution in the forum.

Hi there,
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 add the wmode=transparent code to your flash when exporting.
Another 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.

And finally got it …
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 …
