Get your javascript drop down menus to display over Flash

At some point every web site designer runs into this issue. Whether it be the first time you have worked in Javascript or Flash, or you just forgot how to do it because it has been a while. “MY drop down menu goes UNDER my Flash swf!” The solution is an extremely simple one.

1. Go to your flash in your web site source code, and place this line in between the "object" tags <param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”>

2. Add the following parameter to the “embed” tag: wmode="transparent"

3. Upload and refresh your web page! Your code should look somwhat like this:

<object width=”700″ height=”200″>
<param name=”movie” value=”webdesign/Spokane-web-design.swf”>
<param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”>
<embed src=”webdesign/Spokane-web-design.swf” wmode=”transparent” width=”700″ height=”200″>
</embed>
</object>
