Hi, in my home page I am using flash node to show a flash video. I am using nice menu to show the primary links. The subitems of the nice menu are coming under flash video.

http://drupal.org/node/195267 says I should put WMODE=transparent. I tried putting that way in the flashvars and parameters in the advanced options of the flash node. But no luck.

Can someone help me with this?

Since I have a flash video on the home page, the submenus of the nicemenu is hiding under it. I cant see the subitems of primary links. I want them to come over the flash video.

It does work. Are you sure you added a line like this:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

I added wmode=transperant in the parameters field in the advanced flash options in flash node.

Where should I add the line you mentioned?

Something like this, add it just after the < object > and before < embed > tags

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="300" height="40">
...
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed ... >
</embed> 
</object>

Should I edit the node in the database?

You can just add it in your node. I usually create a new input format called 'script' and not assign any filters to it. This is then used for any scripts i want to put into a node. So it wouldn't strip any code out of my snippet.
