How can the menu be shown over Input/Select list box, Flash movie, ActiveX Object or Iframe

To solve the problem, you can choose Advanced option in “Global Settings” of the tasks panel, then check “The SELECT list box”, “Flash movie or other ActiveX Object” or “IFRAME” options in the property panel to auto hide those elements when the sub menu shows.
Note: Checking “Flash movie or other ActiveX Object”, Flash is hided when the menu pops up its menu item.

For Flash, if you want to let DHTML menu show over Flash movies in IE/Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox browsers, please use the following method to realize it:

1. Please uncheck “Flash movie or other ActiveX Object” option in DHTML Menu and update your menu code by using publish wizard.

2. Then add <param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”> or <param name=”wmode” value=”opaque”> in <embed>…</embed> tags of flash movie’s code in webpage.
The example is like:
<param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”>
<embed src=”http://www.yourwebsite.com/floating.swf&#8221; width=”400″ height=”300″ align=”middle” quality=”high” wmode=”transparent” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&#8221; type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”></embed>
Please note the transparent or opaque should match with the former one. Then the menu will show over flash either in IE or in Mozilla / Netscape / Firefox browsers.

If your menu can not show over Flash correctly, please follow the below method to get it:

View the code in your web page and see if code looks like this:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
AC_FL_RunContent(‘codebase’,’http://www.yourwebsite.com/ /flash/.
cab#version=7,0,19,0′,’width’,’760′,’height’,’402′,’src’,’slideshow’,
‘quality’,’high’,’pluginspage’,
http://www.yourwebsite.com/ flash’,’movie’,’slideshow’ );
//end AC code
</script>

Still in your web page and see if there is the tag <noscript>…</noscript>.
Please delete both code above-mentioned and the tag <noscript></noscript>, the menu will show over Flash.
