spry menu covered up by swf

tkarpitskiy · Aug 1, 2008, 10:43 PM

okay so i have this horizontal spry menu that is being covered up by a flash movie. well the main menu shows but when i go over a specific menu item to show sub items, it show but you can tell its under the flash movie. i would upload the site but i dont have server space for it now. any idea on how to bring the menu forward or send the flash back?

Try adding the CSS z-index:2; to the spry menu.

im using the generic version of the menu provided by dreamweaver and the z index is set to 1000...if i change it to 2 nothing happens, if i add a zindex: 2 the menu is stacked

it hasn't been fixed in all browsers yet, kind of a bugger especially with expanding ads in sites.
