Hi all -

Well, we are back to this site again. The client ultimately decided that they wanted a flash interface - no problem, except that now, my suckerfish dropdowns are hiding BEHIND the flash element. Is there anyway to have them drop down IN FRONT of the flash element? TIA!

Unfortunately this is a known problem with Flash. You can try making sure your Flash is set to wmode=transparent, but it still may not solve the problem.

Thanks for that tip - it allowed me to find this article, which discusses it:

I republished by using publish>settings>html>window mode>opaque windowless... seems to fix the problem in FF, IE7, and IE6....

Great, glad it worked. I love CMX, they're a great resource.
