Overflow Swf Object In Html

[tinfanide]

I have one swf object and one div in the HTML doc.I have set the div with z-index 9999 but the swf object still covers the div.But I've tested with another HTML element (e.g. div) which comes under the z-index 9999 div.How can I fix it?

Plug-ins and iframes always are in front of the rest of the page. But I think if you set the wmode parameter to "transparent" it will let you put something in front of it.

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

yesthat's marvellous!Thank you very much.

But just then I've found that it doesn't work in IE8+.Found some solutions online but not working still

<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

<param name="wmode" value="gpu" />

Both don't work.

Most likely it just can't be done.

So ya meant it's not possible to make it in IE8+? Even then I've found there's the same case in FF5.

Before I found out that side effect the wmode parameter, I supposed that it was impossible altogether to get an element in front of a flash object. What a lot of places do is to set the "visibility" property of all <iframe> and <object> elements to "hidden" when a dropdown menu is open.
