Problem: Flash Animation is On Top of Navigation Bar

Problem: Your flash animation has priority over navigation bar menu options. When you hover over a menu item, the drop down list is hidden behind the flash animation. I've encountered this problem in Wordpress and in other CMS applications.

Solution: You need to add the following line:

param name="wmode" value="transparent"

In Dreamweaver, you can click the opject in design mode and add the parameter. Copy the code below for a working example.

<br /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="584" height="169"><br /> <param name="movie" value="flash/example.swf"><br /> <param name="quality" value="high"><br /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"><br /> <embed src="flash/example.swf" width="584" height="169" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed><br /> </object><br />
