Menu goes behind video

Hi all - if anyone has a moment, can they please look at http://www.colchester-cycling.org.uk.
On the front page, the “Groups” drop down menu goes in front of the video in Preview and Safari, but behind the video in Firefox and IE7. I’ve brought the CSS menu bar to the very top of the folder structure, but to no avail. Any ideas, please?

I have the same problem with swf flash movies (360o panoramas). There
is no workaround, I have asked this group several times. Flash-movies
takes top spot on PCs no matter what you do (works as intended on Mac
web-browsers, but not on PCs). Let me know if you find a solution!
A work-around would be to devide the long menus into smaller sub-
menus, so that they never cover the flash.movies.

Hi - following Elfinn’s reply, I can see it isn’t simple. A trawl through Google came up with this from another software maker’s help pages:

I used the following:

Can I, and where, in Freeway would I insert this code?

The one that works for me (although not always for videos) is:

Insert in Page>html markup>after body

Hope this helps

Thanks, Dick

I’ve added it and uploaded. I’ll scoot off to work now to try it on the PCs there.

I don’t think this is likely to be fixable across
browsers and platforms. As you say, Flash content
takes top spot - the area in the browser window
is taken over by the plugin, and only some
browsers allow other (non-plugin) content to be
drawn over that space.

Bottom line: most people will see plugin content
displayed as top-most content, whatever you do.
Design accordingly.

Here’s the answer, taken straight from a recent post I made to the
ActionsDev section of this forum/list:

  1. Select the SWF file on the Freeway page

  2. Choose Item > Extended (or type command-option-X)

  3. With the ‘embed’ tab selected, click the ‘New’ button

  4. Type “wmode” into the Name field and “transparent” into the Value
    field. Without the quotes, naturally.

Freeway’s code for using SWF files won’t be the same as everyone
else’s - but that’s fine; there are multiple ways to do this. All you
need to do is add in the extended attributes for the embed tag and
they’ll be put into that long list of attributes that Freeway makes.

I do this to add the allowFullScreen=true attribute to my SWF
panoramas when I deliver them using Freeway. (Although I’ve taken to
doing it all in a lump of markup code instead because of a quirk
Freeway has in recognising files as being different or not. Long
story.)

I hope this helps!
