I'm using vBulletin's navbar dropdown menu feature on my webpage.

Near the middle of the page there is an embedded flash audio player.

If you try to use the dropdown menus near the middle of the page, the dropdown list displays BEHIND my embedded flash player. The result is that the menu options are hidden behind the flash player and cannot be seen.

Is there any way to make the vB navbar menu have a higher order / priority on the page such that the menu will be displayed ABOVE all other elements on the page?

Not sure, but the easiest thing would be to move the embedded flash audio player??

Just a thought

This is caused by missing off the 'wmode' parameter to your flash movie embed/object tag.

Add the following to your <object> tag:

Code:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

and the following to your <embed> tag:

Code:

wmode="transparent"

Thanks for your reply. I've just tried that and although the dropdown menu is now layered correctly on top, the transparent setting has distorted one of my flash movies which has a black background. It looks like the setting is trying to make the black background into a transparent layer.

Any other ideas?

I have solved this problem by setting wmode to value "opaque" instead. For more info please see:

We had these issues, and I wish I had been able to resolve it as you, instead I used a ajax expanding drop down menu block to alleviate the problem.

I've managed to use the wmode attribute for swf files embedded using <object> and <embed> tags, but I have some swf files embedded using the <iframe> attribute because those swf files only work in iframe due to filepath issues. Is there any way for me to set an equivalent 'wmode' value to an iframe?

Any help would be appreciated.

Can you please link me to that AJAX dropdown menu? It looks like I might have to look into alternatives.

Also, what's been your experience of using that dropdown menu? Is it any good?

Thanks.
