submenu hidden behind flash slideshow

[iamerica]

Hi.
I have the same problem as previous post by benjamninimp. In Internet Explorer 6 and 7 the scrolldown sub menu goes underneath ie hidden behind my slideshow which is under the menu on the page:

I have no idea how to solve this and was wondering if you could help?

I read this on another forum which might be added to the flash object embed tag:

"In FF you must create a param in the OBJECT tag:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"> ‘opaque will work too.

For IE you must add wmode="transparent" to the <EMBED> tag."

but I don’t think my flash widget uses object tag.

Can this be solved in the pixopoint menu?

Thanks!

Ok so I should add some more info:

I am using the pixopoint multi-level menu on a site I’m building:
http://www.mittafrika.net/mittafrika/

where I have put a Flash slideshow (using the Kimili Flash plugin) underneath the pixopoint menu.

In Internet Explorer 6,7 and 8 the submenu goes underneath the slideshow.

I have added z-index: 111; to the #suckerfishnav, #suckerfishnav ul in the css file,
otherwise just modified colours and fonts.

How can I get the menu to go above the flash file?

Thanks for your help!!

That’s probably just a Flash transparency issue. Here’s a reply I posted elsewhere on the issue:

You need to add this between your OBJECT tags:
[code:2ak6xppk]<param name="wmode" value="transparent">[/code:2ak6xppk]

And this in an EMBED tag
[code:2ak6xppk]wmode="transparent"[/code:2ak6xppk]

So your code should look something like this:
[code:2ak6xppk]
<object>
  <param value="blabla.swf" / >
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent" / >
  <embed src="transparency.swf" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
  </embed>
</object>[/code:2ak6xppk]
