I have a drop down menu for my navigation and I have a flash file right underneath. Now, I’ve a problem I cannot see my drop down menu because the flash file covers it. I could solve this issue for IE and NN 7 but cannot figure it out for NN 6.

Can you please help?

Thanks!

Here is a solution for putting layers on top of a SWF file, enjoy:

add this param to your code:  
\<!–c1–\>

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

```

and here:

```auto
<embed src="flash/headV2.1.swf" wmode="transparent" quality="high"...

```

\<!–c2–\>  
\<!–ec2–\>  
and that should do it, hope that helps.

I fixed the broken code tags jammyman. I think the code tag didn’t react well with the HTML, but PHP seems to work just fine 🙂
