I have a client website that I am working on and I chose the Philips style menu and it shows up on the preview correctly but, on the web it shows up without the lines on bottom and in between. Why? Also, when you look at the sub-menu it only shows the 1st line, is it because the flash file beneath it? I need it to show all of the sub-menus for this client, let me know what I need to do, Im sure it can't go over the flash below but, I need it to show up some way.

Hello Ryan,

Regarding your first question, have you uploaded all the content in the "Includes" folder to the server? Please upload it again, and see if it works.

The second problem, overlaying the Dreamweaver menus over a SWF, is caused by the way SWF is rendered in browsers. By default, browsers place embedded plug-in content, such as a Flash movie or Java applet, on the topmost layer. This is a Flash player issue which is well documented across the internet and can be solved very easily.

You have to do 2 things:

1. You have to add the parameter WMODE=TRANSPARENT to the flash object over which you want to overlay the menu.

2. Put the menu in a DIV and give to that DIV a bigger Z-INDEX . You dont need to use absolute positioning for this, use relative. We need z-index to tell the menu to be rendered above.

If this does not solve the problem please send us the link to the page in which it appears, because the link you posted does not work.

Kind regards,
Lavinia Iancu
