CSS Menu Under Flash Slideshow - css

I've tried using wmode transparent codes on my SWF slideshow but the menus still seem to appear behind the Flash in IE8 and Firefox 3.5... In IE7 it works although the looks of the menus aren't as good.
Here's the Flash code:
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','524','height','313','title','LoveRugs','src','http://www.love-rugs.com/Slideshows/Love-Rugs-Slide','quality','high','loop','false','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','http://www.love-rugs.com/Slideshows/Love-Rugs-Slide' ); //end AC code
</script>
<noscript>
<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="524" height="313" title="LoveRugs"><param value="transparent" name="wmode"/>
<param name="movie" value="http://www.love-rugs.com/Slideshows/Love-Rugs-Slide.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>
<embed src="http://www.love-rugs.com/Slideshows/Love-Rugs-Slide.swf" wmode="transparent" quality="high" loop="false" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="524" height="313"></embed>
</noscript>
Can anyone see what's going wrong?

Wrap the flash object in a DIV and give it a z-index that is lower than the item you want to be on top of it.

Flash banner not clickable in chrome

I have embedded a flash banner on my wordpress site, by editing the header.php file. The banner itself has been hardcoded with the link, but once its on my website it is not clickable in Chrome (FF and IE work fine).
I then added another banner using the same code (except for the file name), which works on all browsers (the second banner was added using a widget).
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Y.
The banner can be found above the header, here: http://wordsandmusic.me
This is the code I am using:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="728" HEIGHT="90" id="http://wordsandmusic.me/wp-content/uploads/Flash Banners/banner_02.swf" ALIGN="Middle">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://wordsandmusic.me/wp-content/uploads/Flash Banners/banner_02.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=AllowScriptAccess VALUE="always"> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#333399> <EMBED src="http://wordsandmusic.me/wp-content/uploads/Flash Banners/banner_02.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#333399 WIDTH="728" HEIGHT="90" NAME="http://wordsandmusic.me/wp-content/uploads/Flash Banners/banner_02.swf" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" AllowScriptAccess="always"></EMBED> </OBJECT>
You should try to delete this:
<div class="background-cover"></div>
Or at least modify the rules for that class. What are you using that div for?
Add the following css code to the <div> which contains the flash object:
<div style="text-align:center;position:relative;z-index:1;">
<object>Flash object will come here</object>
</div>
I have added inline css in the above code.

<div style="Height:300px; width:300px">

allowScriptAccess="always" />
</object></div>
The problem you describe has to do with how the FLA is constructed and embedded, little has to do with ASP.NET as it is a server-side technology. To achieve such, the "scale" of the Flash would need to be set as showAll, you may achieve so by adding scale="showAll" in the EMBED tag and <param name="scale" value="showAll" /> in the OBJECT tag.
However, it is possible that your Flash movie may overwrite the value scale value to "noScale". This is done by setting the scaleMode of Stage to noScale or other undesired values. You would need to go through the sources of your Flash movie to remove that overwrite. If the source of the movie is a Flex application, by default a Flex application's scaleMode is noScale

Problems with Chrome css and iframe

I'm managing this site: (no joke)
http://www.orgasmatrix.fr/webcams
As you can see, when you put your mouse over "Categories" the menu appears below the iframe called "chat_".
I have search about it. I have read and test with "position:absolute" and "z-index:-999", but no way.
I have found another tip with the iframe embenbed and try to put "?wmode=transparent" or "?wmode=opaque" as a parameter.
Also I have tested with , and also with the atributte allowtransparency="true". But no way, the iframe always appear above the "Categories" menu.
Any help?
I'll be very grateful.
The problem isn't with your code, but deeper - in very nested iframe (I have counted 3) with that chat element:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://img.media-rendering2.com/market2/livecams/chat_coquin/chat_v2.swf" wmode="transparent" width="300" height="405" id="chatCoquinTac" style="visibility: visible; "><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="flashvars" value="url_acces=&url_image=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.media-rendering2.com%2Fmarket2%2Flivecams%2Fchat_coquin%2F&sexe=h&langue=fr&webcam=7&pseudo=Julia&ville=Warsaw&format=2&temps=1338679111"></object>
As you can see I have added (with developer tools) <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> and wmode="transparent" to <object> and it worked as it should (Chrome 19) - your categories menu appears above chat window.

full size flash inside web browser aligned centre

how do can I make the below full size flash inside my web browser aligned centre?
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="50%" height="900">
<param name="movie" value="css/index.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="css/index.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>
</form>
</body>
You need to set width="100%" in the "embed" tag, not just in the "object" tag. Incidentally, the size you currently have set in the "object" tag is 50%. Oh and you'll probably want to set the page margins to 0.
To then adjust the placement of objects in reaction to the stage resize use stage.stageWidth
Incidentally, the specific embed method you are using is what you get when you publish from Flash directly, and that positions things differently than the embed method when you publish from FlashDevelop. FlashDevelop inserts some JavaScript that centers automatically without the developer having to do anything. I didn't until just now even notice that, it's pretty convenient.
To go full screen in flash you have to change the displayState of the stage. The following line would accomplish this:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

WordPress menu dropdown showing BEHIND video object

I'm working on this website: http://www.oklahomainsightstv.com/ and I'm trying to get the navigation drop down to show up ON TOP of the video object. I've tried a few versions of z-index in the CSS but nothing has worked.
This is my code:
<div id="hero" style="z-index:-1; position:relative;">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="266" id="viddler_e3f5a526"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/simple/e3f5a526/" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/simple/e3f5a526/" width="437" height="266" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" name="viddler_e3f5a526"></embed></object>
</div>
Its a browser bug !
Flash, iframes are visible above the menu. Place video object far from the menu.
Without testing it myself, a quick search revealed that there are two things you might not be doing:
Add the wmode parameter to your video object and use the value "transparent": <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
Make sure you specify the position:relative; style to the menu with the z-order. Otherwise, the z-order won't be applied.
If that doesn't work, you may have encountered a limitation of a given browser, in which case, you may have to design the site so that plugins don't have the opportunity to overlap.
