Magento

I have an issue regarding using flash on my main page.  When I added the HTML code to include a flash object, it works great with the exception that now when I go to the menu at the top of the page, the menu drops down behind the flash object.  I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue?  If you have or know how to fix it, please let me know what you did to resolve the issue.  Here is the code I used to display the flash:

<center>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="620" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.test.com/skin/frontend/default/default/images/media/test.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="http://www.test.com/skin/frontend/default/default/images/media/test.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="620" height="400"></embed></object>
</center>

Thanks for any help in advance!

This is an easy one. 

All you’ve got to do is insert the wmode parameter.

wmode="transparent" within the embed tag for the flash file.  This will make it pop up under the menu.  That’s it.

Hope this helps.

Doesn’t help at all. Any other solutions ?

Thanks

If you are using a javascript for adding the necessary AC_FL_RunContent.js, be sure to add this code [’wmode’,’opaque’ ]within your string. See my code, just before the closing parenthesis:

<script language="JavaScript\" type="text/javascript\">
if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js.");
} else {
AC_FL_RunContent( ‘codebase’,’http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0’,’name’,’home_photos’,’width’,’666’,’height’,’301’,’align’,’middle’,’id’,’home_photos’,’src’,’home_photos’,’quality’,’high’,’bgcolor’,’#D8DDB5’,’allowscriptaccess’,’sameDomain’,’allowfullscreen’,’false’,’pluginspage’,’http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer’,’movie’,’home_photos_main5c’,’wmode’,’opaque’ ); //end AC code
}
</script>

Also, then in your object class, add this additional parameter:

param name="wmode" value="opaque" (I removed the html brackets, so this code would display. You’ll need to add < on each end > these brackets back.

This should work.
