get it working then improve it
your cuurent issue can be resolved by using para.wmode transparent.
Transparent makes the flash object in page see through and enables z-index
to be altered. You have to be care with hotzones (active clickable areas)
where hotzones occupy the same page area oddd things will happen. google
'z-index wmode transparent conflicts' to see more information on this.
WMODE is a param you can add param.wmode = "transparent"; below params.quality
= "high";
also you should be able to remove
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/AC_ActiveX.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
and also combine the script blocks which have the swfObject setups into a
single block which you can place in the head of your doc
further you have
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0";
width="500" height="250" align="top">
<param name="movie" value="menu.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="menu.swf" width="500" height="250" align="top"
quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash";
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed>
</object>
the above could be replaced with alt content, which could be a css list menu
Another issue has arisen - your new flash piece pushes your page footer out
of vision. 'Copyrights 2009 © Jack Pine Web Design. All Rights reserved' is
not fully visible with the all.swf in there :)
