I was too happy too soon.... While the layout now is OK, the flex application starts to act up with Swedish keyboard layout and I am not able to enter certain characters (for example the @-sign.......) Removing wmode and I get a working keyboard layout..... Once again - this only affects Firefox, clearly Flash is not the cross-browser solution I was expecting.... This problem has been floating around since early 2008 but clearly Adobe hasn't fixed it.... http://flex.mediabox.fr/index.php?showtopic=73407&mode=threaded&pid=487917 :-( /msa On Mar 11, 8:52 am, Philip Hutchison <[email protected]> wrote: > hmm... interesting. wonder why the table didn't work. > > well, glad you got it working! :) > > > > > > On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 11:50 PM, msa <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi Philip, > > I solved the problem by moving the dynamic menus from a table to a div > > and then I did not have to do anything with the z-index - everything > > just works....(?) > > > Thanks, > > /msa > > > On Mar 11, 1:09 am, Philip Hutchison <[email protected]> wrote: > > > hi mattias > > > > wmode opaque works well with the z-index. see my examples: > >http://pipwerks.com/lab/swfobject/z-index/2.0/index.html > > > > - philip > > > > On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 5:06 PM, Getify Solutions, Inc. <[email protected] > > >wrote: > > > > > Maybe I'm missing your point, but both "opaque" and "transparent" allow > > you > > > > to use z-indexing to position HTML elements over the top of a SWF.
