Adjusting the 'z' index of a flash movie 2

[pigrat]

I've noticed that on an html page containing a Fireworks fly-out menu, any Flash movies that are temporarily overlapped by the menu on mouse-over - still run on top - whereas other page elements run behind.

Is it possible to get it to run behind, and if so, is it an export setting in Flash or on the html page itself?

Flash movie must be set to be transparent (wmode), and different layer/divisions used depending on the disered effect...

SWFs in a HTML will always appear on top of any other elements, no matter what the z-index settings are - unless you set the parameter [tt]wmode[/tt] to [tt]transparent[/tt]. However this won't work on some old browsers.

Sorry for the late reply - thanks for that...

It also solves the mistery of the overlapping flash movies that are appearing more and more.
