I am having trouble finding a workaround for Firefox's interpretation problems with WMODE parameters for Flash. Does anyone know a workaround in Firefox to get the dropdown menu system to overlay a flash file?

Don't use Macromedia / Adobe's <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

This code works with CSS positioning and z-index of menu and flashcontent DIVs.

<div>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="465" height="230">
<param name="movie" value="Images/IntroAnimation.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Images/IntroAnimation.swf" width="465" height="230">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<!--<![endif]-->
<p>Alternative content</p>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>
</div>

Hello Jango,

Actually, I think that it's not such a good idea to use this way to add a swf to a HTML, I don’t like scripts that test to see which browser. Also, I found that this way the dimensions of the swf aren’t sent correctly. And you can use w-mode and apply css to the swf embeded with AC_RunActiveContent.js.

Can you bring arguments, as why you prefer the other way ?


Best regards,
