flash slideshow blocking drop down menu

[hlockwood]

I have been trying to figure out how to fix an issue with a flash slideshow that blocks the drop down menu in IE and Chrome. I have tried changing the z-index values for the div containing the slideshow to a value lower than the div containing the menu bar, but it still covers it up. the website is www.atmainc.net.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just add <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> in your flash parameters.
For instance:
<param name="movie" value="SlideshowWhite.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
................................


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="SlideshowWhite.swf" width="604" height="608">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="movie" value="SlideshowWhite.swf" />
.....

Just for future reference, z-index only works on absolutely positioned items. So it won't effect anything positioned any other way.
