Flash animation coming on top

HTML & CSS
1

Hello,

I have a page on which i have a 150px wode flash animation running. Then I have a <a href link below it so that upon clicking it a jquery based thickbox/lightbox opens the bigger version of flash animation.

Now it works fine in FF but in IE the small flash animation is also showing up…seems that the flash animations are on top of everything in the webpage.

How to fix it ?

Thanks.

how about adding this to the object tag:

<param name=“wmode” value=“transparent”</param>

then add this in the embed section:
wmode=“transparent”

so if we use the code you provided above, it would read like this:

<object id="2">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="movie" value="items_images/1274439560Movie.swf">
<embed src="items_images/1274439560Movie.swf" width="553" height="400" wmode="transparent"></embed>
</object>

Link us to the page (best), or to the .swf file (better than nothing), so we can see and edit for debugging.

cheers,

Hello,

I added <param name=“wmode” value=“opaque”> but it has not fixed it. Please suggest. I am using the following code:

<object id="2">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<param name="movie" value="items_images/1274439560Movie.swf">
<embed src="items_images/1274439560Movie.swf" width="553" height="400"></embed>
</object>

Thanks.

Flash is a windowed object; that is, it lives in its own window on top of the browser. To make it a part of the page, you must change the wmode (windows mode).

For <object>, add <param name=“wmode” value=“opaque”>.

If you are still using <embed> for non-IE browsers, add the attribute wmode=“opaque”.

I believe—but I’m not a Flash writer, so take it for what it’s worth—that you may add the wmode argument when compiling.
