Further help on Menu over Flash

I have my menu above a flash .swf file and, so, the dropdown menus don't show up in FF. I understand the fixes but have one complication issue... I am using a javascript called UFO to insert a static photo in place of the flash show if the user does not have flash loaded. The current code can be viewed at http://www.lionsroardharmacenter.org/index.html. Any help on how I accomplish both replacing the flash with a static image and having it also work in FF would be very appreciated.

Hi,

Well, I am not up on this ufo thing, however, I opened that ufo.js file and in one area it shows the Var UFO= and one line says req with a list of things, that I am assuming are required, and then below that is one called opt, and in that line is wmode. So, this is just a guess :) but have you tried setting up the call for that with the wmode="transparent" in it, i.e.

Code:
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>
var FO = { movie:"swf/index.swf", width:"961", height:"286", wmode:"transparent", majorversion:"6", build:"40" };
UFO.create(FO, "indexholder");
</SCRIPT>


That seems to work in FF, but I am testing it on my desktop so am not really sure what happens when it's on the web. Let me know if this works :)

This works as far as the menu showing up over the picture however it seems to stop the slideshow and only the static photo displays.

Hi,

You will have to contact support since I know nothing about programming or programs like the ufo.js thingee.
