Fly out menus over Flash animation

[beachshooz]

Crazy problem!

I have a simple Flash animation on my client's homepage. It is right next to a side nav menu that uses flyout menus. In Explorer, the flyout menus dont even come out. In Netscape, the flyout menus work fine AFTER the Flash is finished (it is nonlooping).

Is it possible to get it to all work together or should I just be safe and limit my flash to the far right side of the homepage, leaving a static graphic on the left? I could spend days on this problem.

Thanks for your help.

Just taking a guess here...

You may have to adjust your zindex on the flyout menu. It may be rendaring below the flash... not sure though.

Um... your flyout is DHTML right?

yep and I thought changing the zindex would take care of it. I posted the same problem in the Javascript forum and whoa, it is a very technical fix. Thanks though.

I had a similar problem with my JScript nav menu and a SWF animation. What I did was add a PARAM NAME="wmode" value="tranparent" and add wmode="transparent" in the EMBED section as well. It solved my problem on the SWF file hiding the flyout menu. It may be too simple a solution, but that's all I could think of.

Life would be nice if it were that easy. It didn't work but thanks for replying. I appreciate the help.
