We have Flash on our “HOME” page just below our CSS menu bar. When you mouse over services, the sub menu seems to go behind the flash layer. What is going on here? The flash layer is below the menu. Please help.
Thanks, Team SDA

Try setting wmode: transparent on the Flash movie.
Flash cuts a hole all the way through the Z-axis of the page and
covers over everything in its path unless you set this property. (Note
that setting this is not a magic bullet, there are still some browsers
where you will see your flash covering your menu. The only thing that
reliably floats over Flash is more Flash. Which is kinda like More
Cowbell.)
Add this property by clicking on the Flash movie object in Freeway,
then selecting Item / Extended from the main menu. Choose the “embed”
segment of the tabs and then click New and add wmode and transparent
in the name and value fields, respectively.

Thanks for your input Walter you are helpful as always, we saw a thread online where someone was saying to use opaque instead of transparent in the wmode code. They said it was less taxing on the cpu. Do you know anything about this or does it matter?
Thanks again, Team SDA

Flash is quite CPU-intensive stuff, especially if you’re using
Flash video or doing complex image transformations. I’m sure the
wmode=transparent will push it a little harder.
I suspect that you don’t need to specify wmode=opaque, as that’s very
likely to be the default. Especially as you have to specify its
opposite if you want it to be transparent!

I tried the wmode=opague & it didn’t work, but the transparent setting did! Thanks to everyone who jumped in this one. I love this community & I love Freeway.
