    Hi,

    I added a flash slideshow to my site (the original site had a static image)...but the flash slideshow hides the pop down nav menu.

    Is there any way to make the nav menu appear ontop?

    original

    with slideshow

    Thanks

    edit - for example, the residents tab

    I'm not sure if things have changed or not, but you have never been able to have content on top of a flash piece. The only options you have are to readjust the positioning of the flash file so that it is below your longest menu, or to turn your menu into a flash piece as well. Again, this is how it used to be when I was actively developing flash sites with Flash MX. Things may have changed with newer versions.

    From memory, you can fix this in most browsers by setting the z-index of the nav elements higher than that of the flash animation.

    Also from memory, there's no straightforward way to fix this in firefox 2 for ubuntu.

    By the way it works fine for me in firefox 3 for OS X.

    Thanks for the replies guys...

    I was thinking of going down the javascript route? Maybe that would work?

    I also thought of moving stuff around...but it honestly didnt look as good. So a static jpeg will do until i get a javascript slide show done!

    Thanks again
