z-index i believe

[dazz_club]

hi people,i have a drop down menu using css and on the same page i have bit of basic flash animation.The problem comes with layering i believe, something like z-index. the drop down menu seems to fall behind the swf file. heres the url www.tweedmill.co.uk/new1/its only viewable in internet explorer at the mo, as the css needs sorting out for fire fox.cheers

thats right, theres only a drop down menu on departments, if you go to another page, you will see there are more categories on the drop down menu.thanks for looking

Z-index doesn't matter a jot when trying to "layer" html over a .swf (well as long as it's not set to -1), you must set flash to transparent.-------------------------<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version= 6,0,0,0" height="500px" width="500px"> <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://www.mix-fx.com/animations.swf"> <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent></OBJECT> <div style="background-color:red;position:absolute;width:100px;height:100px;left:250px;top:200px;">The Box</div>-------------------------As you will see from this example the box "sits" on top of the flash animation
