It took a little bit of tinkering around, but here is an example of completed code that will allow a css dropdown menu to appear over a flash movie:
We will need to set the wmode parameter as 'transparent' in three different places. Look over the example code, focus on 'wmode'
Where will we define the paramaters?
- In the AC_FL_RunContent() as 'wmode', 'transparent',
- In the noscript section as a new parameter :: param name='wmode' value='transparent'
- In the embedded section as a attribute tag :: wmode='transparent'
