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.

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.

Can I, and where, in Freeway would I insert this code?
Here’s the answer, taken straight from a recent post I made to the
ActionsDev section of this forum/list:
–
Select the SWF file on the Freeway page
Choose Item > Extended (or type command-option-X)
With the ‘embed’ tab selected, click the ‘New’ button
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.)
