DHTML hidden behind flash graph/charts [Solved]

[johnjaccob]

I am trying to use DHTML and it is getting hidden behind the flash graph/chart.

 

This is how you can fix it and why it is happening to me:

FusionCharts is a set of Flash movies, and as kind of plugins, are rendered in a special way by the browsers (a method known as "windowed"), making them the topmost objects in a page.

To allow DHTML objects appear over a Flash movie just add this parameter:

WMode=Transparent

to the Flash

<object>

tag.

It should look like this:

<param name="WMode" value="Transparent">

In order to support Mozilla-based browsers and other browsers, such as Safari, you should also include the wmode parameter in the <embed> tag, like this:

<embed wmode="transparent" .......></embed>

If you're using the FusionCharts JavaScript class to embed your charts, you may download the updated JavaScript class from http://www.fusioncharts.com/Downloads/FusionChartsWMode.zip

Thanks worked perfectly, I miss read the instructions on that forum to fix the problem.

Hmmm.... thanks for the fix - works perfectly for me in IE7, FF but in IE6 the menu can now be seen 'through' the Flash, but is still behind the Flash. When you mouse-over the menu which is behind the Flash, the menu can not be selected.

 

 

 

EDIT: I am using the new .js file

 

 

 

Any thoughts?

 

 

 

Many thanks, David
