Setting flash image to 'background'

[gb]

Hi all

My website content is laid out with 2 columns and 2 rows.

In the left-hand column, I have a navigation menu, of which, some open a sub
menu.

One of the sub menus opens pages containing flash movies in the adjoining
column. When the page is
open and the cursor is moved back to the menu, the sub menus open behind the
movie.

Does anyone know how I can get the sub menu to appear at the front of the
movie?

Thanks for your kind help

Howdy.

First I would check that the z-index of the menu is
greater than that of the flash movie. For example, code
style="z-index: 5" on the layer that define the menu, and
the the z-index of the movie default to zero.

If that doesn't do it, the Flash player may be detecting
and using some sort of direct video interface. IUnother
words, it may be talking almost directly to the video
hardware. If that's the case, and you can't find a setting
that turns it off, what you describe may not be possible.
