Player on top of pull-downs Created Jan 18, 2010

This happens a lot, but I forget the exact code. Search the forums for "wmode"

Thank you for your reply and pointing me to the right page.

My solution was:
<param value="opaque" name="wmode"/>

Well, more problems. The code above worked to put my pull-down windows on top of the video, but making it "opaque" now means that I can't play the video. The "start" arrow is visible, but not click-able.

Any advise?

change opaque to transparent. That may work.

Nope, What are some of the other values available for wmode?

When set to transparent, the pull-downs work, but video play button is not clickable.

That's the value I use when I have flash content and drop down menus on the same page. The only other thing I can think of is the z-index of the menus has to be higher than that of the player. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

But now that I think about it I don't think I've actually had to click the flash content. Once I got the drop downs to work there was nothing else for me to try so its possible that my solution was short sighted in this case.
