I'm not sure if this is just a support request or a minor bug.

When using swftools + flowplayer3 with the admin_menu module positioned at the top of the browser window, the drop down menu correctly overlaps the playlist but the player lies over the top of any drop down menus. This must be related to z-index settings that are applied differently to the playlist and the player.

I would appreciate any thoughts on how best to resolve this.

Thanks.

I have looked into this a bit more.

The admin_menu module css includes z-index: 999;

and there are many references on the net related to problems with displaying flash that suggest it is to do with wmode and transparent settings and recommendations such as http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14201.html that both the object tag and embed tag must be set,

1. Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:

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

2. Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:

wmode="transparent"

Since this is not a problem with the playlist, just the player (see attached screen shots) I am wondering if the solution requires some modification to the swftools code.

Any thoughts?
