[jQuery] Re: Superfish menu - flash of unstyled list before load
Hi Terry, As a rule, you should always put your CSS before your JavaScript in the source order. This avoids the FOUC problems. Joel Birch.
[jQuery] Re: SuperFish Menu Flash
I don't have an easy answer for you, but it seems like you've tried a couple different techniques and haven't completely removed the old ones. For example, you've got both the original suckerfish javascript (sfhover) and superfish ( which is a jquery implementation of the suckerfish menu). You're also calling bgiframe, but you haven't linked the bgiframe script... but I think superfish has it's own implementation of the bgiframe technique. So you might want to start by cleaning up a little. gracetec wrote: Hi all, I have been testing the SuperFish menu and and very impressed with it's features. However, when I included a Flash slideshow my menu no longer can be seen. I have followed all advise I can find on forums re: CSS z-index values and setting still to no effect. I would be grateful for any further help as I don't wish to change the menu at this stage.

Hi rolfsf, Thanks for your response. I have re-checked all the code against a working example and the only difference appears to be the way in which the flash file is embedded. It works for this code: object classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-44455354 codebase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/ swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0 width=590 height=173 style=margin: 0px; padding: 0px; param name=movie value=test.swf param name=quality value=highparam name=WMode value=Transparent embed src=test.swf quality=high wmode=transparent pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer; type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=590 height=173/embed /object But not for: script type=text/javascript var so = new SWFObject(slideshow.swf, gallery, 590, 174, 6, #00); so.write(flashcontent); /script Although I changed the code in the file: http://rican.ictirl.com/home/flashdetect.js to match it still doesn't display. Any more thoughts?

Hi, it works because you used the : param name=WMode value=Transparent wmode=transparent You need this for elements to appear above the flash movie. -Tony gracetec wrote: Hi rolfsf, Thanks for your response.

You definitely need to include bgiframe, because without you have errors, and therefore the swfobject code cannot run. gracetec wrote: Hi rolfsf, Thanks for your response.

It seems that you may not be needing it in this case. To sum up: do add the swfObject code necessary to trigger wmode transparent (see the swfObject docs to find out how), and also make sure you are adding z-index to all the elements involved. Often you need to add z-index to parent elements also - especially to avoid IE6 z-index bugs. Of course, everything you set z-index on also needs to be positioned - position:relative is often the easiest way to ensure that. Joel Birch.
