Hey guys...Thanks for checking this out.

I'm having a problem with this little dev project here:

www.mica.net/alpha

For whatever reason, the java menu system drops down BEHIND the flash movie. Is there anyway to correct this?

Thanks a ton in advance.

that's not java, it's javascript.

that cleared away,

Flash content is rendered on top of the browser in the operating system. It looks as if it is within the confines of the browser window. It;s not really inside the browser, it's on top. Therefore, dhtml layers cannot appear on top of flash content.

you'll need to change the way your page works, or remove the flash.

Thanks persist...that's what I was afraid off. :(

One of my programmers corrects me on the java/javascript slips I make all the time. He gives me the most intense look, then rolls his eyes at me.

just to add to what persist has said, all embedded content in a web browser sits above the document layer in reality. and no amount of manipulation with layers or z-index is going to change it. it's also part of the reason that you can have those flash movies that "float" above all the content of a page.

and just like persist said, you'll need to change the way the page functions or remove the flash content.

well it was funny because I was using the page, thinking it was a java applet menu. And couldn't figure what was going on, until I right clicked, and was able to get a browser options menu. k

Nice page btw.:grumpy:
