I have a page I designed in Dreamweaver with a spry horizontal menu at the top, with a large photo immediately below the menu. Everything worked great in all browsers. Then I replaced the photo with a flash file that rotates through several photos. All still works great in IE, Safari, and Firefox for Mac. But on Firefox for Windows and for Linux when you click on any of the menus above the flash the dropdown goes behind the flash instead of in front of it. I have tried putting the flash in a div and giving that div a low Z value, I also tried assigning a high Z value to every part of the spry menu (I notice the Spry dropdowns by default have a Z between 1,000 and 1,010 on some components). People have told me they have experienced Friefox for Linux having the problem of menus going behind items on the page on other sites as well. Does anyone know a work-around, or do I have to ditch DW Spry components and write all the menus as floating boxes?

Thanks for any thoughts,

Mark Bickel

For the div containing the Flash, insert "clear: both" in there -- see if that handles your problem.

Add addparam ("wmode", "transparent") to your object code. Or if your using SWFObject so.addparam ("wmode", "transparent");
