Hello, I am running into an issue where nice menus is dropping behind my flashnode content on my home page, but only in Firefox on a PC! Checking all other browsers there is no problem with this.

I have seen lots of people talking about fixing a similar issue with z-index or setting the wmmode, however, in checking the code, the parameter appears to already be in place.

Please help!

Thanks,
Andy

Try checking that wmode actually has transparent value. You have the same issue solved here => http://drupal.org/node/516958

Attached is a screen grab of the object source code from this URL http://webdev.nianow.com

The transparent value is there as far as I can see... I also tested in Safari on a PC and have the same issue, not that anyone on a PC uses safari ;)

Any more thoughts?

The same old answer applies :)

I didn't see any wmode="transparent" in the embed part. That's the problem.

d-oh! sorry I completely missed that piece. I just looked at the example on the page and it only had the object code... Thank you for your time, all is good now I added the wmode to the embed too... and just for anyone out there that may have a similar thought process to me my final code looks like this:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="!width" height="!height" id="myMovieName"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="movie" value="!filepath" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="flashvars" value="!flashvars" /><param name="base" value="!base" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="!filepath" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" width="!width" height="!height" flashvars="!flashvars" wmode="transparent" name="myMovieName" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" base="!base" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>

thanks again for your help

:) Andy

Hi Everyone.

I can check through firebug and preview the applied codes to flash elements, but I have a hard time finding the location of that file on the Drupal install where that code is embedded. Could be that certain files are hidden even from the backend since I already used the search option for a specific criteria/word but still can't locate it. Please help. Thanks

Ok. I have now figured this out the code worked with IE (though it is removing whatever frame color it has since its transparent I understand LOL). But it is not working in Firefox.
