OK here is the problem. I want to make it so my flash menu can overlap the hTML part of my website. Is this possible through Layers in FP or Dreamweaver? I have seen adds with flash that overlap HTML but i KNow thats with some transparent background so i think its possible. Thanks
Mike

like, say you’ve got you swf in a div, and that div has a z-index of 1, then you’ve got whatever you want to go over it in another div, w/ a z-index of 10. the div w/ the 10 will still be under the swf, even tho the z-index says it shouldn’t be…
_or at least that’s how it is in ie6_

wait, is this what you’re trying to do: make an swf go below text or some other html tag? If so I’m not aware of any way of doing that, but if you’re trying to do what I did and have the html seen through the holes in the movie, then my method works

bombing: on your example page… the html underneath the flash is untouchable in Firefox. can’t click the links… etc. any workaround for this?

if you refresh after the mc has been on them they become inactive, I noticed this too, it’s really annoying but a problem with the flash file, it doesn’t delete the movieclips, it just hides them
