My question is this...  I need buttons without the white background.  Can I make them with invisible background?  I can’t find a color to exactly match the page I need the buttons for.  Please help. 

Thanks

Dear User,

Regarding creating transparent buttons, you can do this if you select the PNG file format that allows transparency:

Support Case Month: July 2012

Hi,

We are having an issue with that as well. We have a flash image that now we are finding is covering the dropdown when you mouse over. What can I do to put the dropdown ON TOP OF the flash image? If it helps, the web address is http://www.conest.com/default_video_new_menu3.asp. Please let me know what the solution is asap. I need to get this page up to replace the homepage.

Thanks
Cary

P.S. Just wanted to mention that I already have the z-index set to 1000.

I’ve been trying that, but it’s not quite fitting with the way m Flash has been coded in. Where would I place it? The code is brief for the flash and follows:

<td width="730" height=100 valign=top><embed src="/flash/entry13.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF  width=730 height=232 salign=L type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></td></tr><tr>

Where would I fit the code referred to in the link? I believe it’s ('wmode','Transparent') supposed to be in 3 places in the example.

Thanks much.

Cary

Dear Cary,

If you use the full flash code, then there are three distinct places where you can put “wmode”.

However you seem to use a much shorter version that only has the <embed> part. Hence, following the help example, you should add:

wmode="transparent"

So please correct the “ 'wmode', 'Transparent' ” that you added and instead use the correct code.

Sorry, cant figure this out. My menu is below my SWF object. I read about this on your site and setting the parameter but it really doesn't show how to do this in my application.
My code looks like this. 

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash

so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
   <param name="movie" value="indexflash.swf?xml_path=indexflash.xml" />
   <param name="quality" value="high" />

Hello,

It seems that you are using the wrong code. Please try changing this:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash

   <param name="movie" value="indexflash.swf?xml_path=indexflash.xml" />

   <param name="quality" value="high" />

Into this:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash

It doesn't just happen in IE. I found that if you click anywhere off the menu bar and then move your mouse over the "Other Services" button, it does not drop down.

Thanks,

Dear Steve,

The submenu does not show in IE (ever) because it is hidden behind the Flash applet. To correct this issue you need to add the “wmode=transparent” parameter to the Flash applet.

Specifically you need to change the following code in your page:

<script type="text/javascript">

         AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub
         /shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','970',
         'height','252','title','ProClean Carpet and Upholstery', 'src',
         'flash/main', 'quality','high','pluginspage',
         'http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi? 
         P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','flash/main' ); //end AC code

</script>

<noscript>
     <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"        
             codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave
             /cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="970"
             height="252" title="ProClean Carpet and Upholstery">
             <param name="movie" value="flash/main.swf" />
             <param name="quality" value="high" />
             <embed src="flash/main.swf" quality="high"    
             pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?
             P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
             type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="970"    
             height="252"></embed>
      </object>
</noscript>

With this:

<script type="text/javascript">

         AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub
         /shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','970',
         'height','252','title','ProClean Carpet and Upholstery', 'src',
         'flash/main', 'quality','high', 'wmode','transparent','pluginspage',
         'http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi? 
         P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','flash/main' ); //end AC code

</script>

<noscript>
     <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"        
             codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave
             /cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="970"
             height="252" title="ProClean Carpet and Upholstery">
             <param name="movie" value="flash/main.swf" />
             <param name="quality" value="high" />
             <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
             <embed src="flash/main.swf" quality="high"    
             pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?
             P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
             type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" 
             width="970" height="252"></embed>
      </object>
</noscript>

(note the change is in three places marked in red)

Kostas,

Awesome work dude!

I really appreciate it.

I had a sneaky suspicion that it might have something to do with the Flash.

We don't usually use Flash because it doesn't work on the iPhone or iPad.

Thank you,

Steve

Initial Email From: User
Initial Email Subject: sub menu flash file conflict
Support Case Month: September 2012

I am building menus and i noticed when i have a flash file video or slide show playing it overrides the menus i have created and layers them to the back of the video or slide show. Is there any way to make the sub menu stay on top when it slides out or drops down. I have not uploaded them to the URL above. I am hoping to get this fixed before i upload and have a problem. I can send a screen shot of beta test site.

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Hello,

Flash applets tend to ignore the layer ordering rules by default, hence they always appear “on top”.

To correct this behavior you need to add the “wmode=transparent” parameter. For detailed instructions please have a look in the application help:
