I have a menu that runs horizontally on the top of the screen created with CC Css menu designer and a contact form created with CC flash form designer.

the problem is that the form hides the menu I tried using Z-index to no avail.

any ideas?

Try adding one of the following to the flash.

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

or

<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

Thank you Tom , your response made me go and look at the code .. when fix for active content is chosen there is no obvious way to add that code .. it works now that I have turned off fix for active content.
thank you

If I do have "fix for active content" checked. Can someone please tell me where the " <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> " would be placed in the following code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="fms/new_user/swfobject.js"></script><div id="CC2541040">Form Object</div><script type="text/javascript">var so = new SWFObject("fms/new_user/new_user.swf", "fms/new_user/new_user.xml", "625", "566", "7,0,0,0", "#ffffff");so.addParam("classid", "clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000");so.addParam("quality", "high");so.addParam("scale", "noscale");so.addParam("salign", "lt");so.addParam("FlashVars", "xmlfile=fms/new_user/new_user.xml&w=625&h=566");so.write("CC2541040");</script>

Thanks,

<script type="text/javascript" src="fms/new_user/swfobject.js"></script><div id="CC2541040">Form Object</div><script type="text/javascript">var so = new SWFObject("fms/new_user/new_user.swf", "fms/new_user/new_user.xml", "625", "566", "7,0,0,0", "#ffffff");so.addParam("classid", "clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000");so.addParam("quality", "high");so.addParam("scale", "noscale");so.addParam("salign", "lt");so.addParam("wmode", "opaque");so.addParam("salign", "lt");so.addParam("FlashVars", "xmlfile=fms/new_user/new_user.xml&w=625&h=566");so.write("CC2541040");</script>
