Removing all hover actions fixed the issues for us, although the menus are boring to say the least. All of this was on our Intranet, so we were able to just go w/o hovers. We actually have the ability to not use the dropdowns (the html over the Flash, in our case) at all, and I don't. ;-) -- Tom Livingston | Senior Multimedia Artist | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

It seems like any time there's a background image being called for on a hover state, Safari will flicker.

One other thing... If you have _any_ hover action on the HTML that is over the Flash, it can cause issues with Safari. Try removing hovers and see if it helps. -- Tom Livingston | Senior Multimedia Artist | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Re: [WSG] Safari doesn't like transparent flash
Safari is not to blame it is the Mac (and also Linux) versions of the flash plugins. You get the same results with Firefox on OsX, when overlaying HTML over flash 50% of the time flash appears above, the other 50% of the time below the HTML no matter which one has the higher z-index or is last in source order. Note I have not tried the new version 9 of the flash plugins to see if the problem is fixed in them.I have been told, that you can use an iframe shim to fix the problem. I just have not tested that yet.

[WSG] Safari doesn't like transparent flash
Hello all, was juts wondering if any of you had been successful in implementing a fix or workaround for Safari's wmode bug. The gist of that bug: Safari doesn't like wmode, a parameter used to specify the opacity of a flash file, very commonly used to place HTML on top of the flash. And it works great -- 'scept in Safari. It's been a while since I last dealt with this issue and was just wondering (hoping) that by now there's some silver bullet hack fix for this. Thanks, e. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
