I made a header using Flash, and put the file in my 'theme', but it seems the flash put it selves on top of everything. So when i click tools, all the buttons get behind the header. Any idea why ???

You must log in to post replies.Make sure you copy the swf code as given by the program, or make sure you have it in a div or a table so it stays in place.
I did that, i even try the z-index and put -1000 as the value but somehow it still place it selves on top of everything
Make sure your flash object is set to transparent. Chect you html publishings settings in your flash program. You wont need to put it in a table in your page elements header. You can aslo add this code.
If you used a different program to creat your flash then try this.
You first need to add this parameter inside the Flash <object> tag:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
You then need to add the attribute wmode to the embed tag:
<embed wmode="transparent" ...
I've tried it, it didn't work, anyone knows the code for this ? Pleaseeee
use a div container and use z-index . use a value of about 10000 that should put it on top of everything as elgg uses z index in its style sheets,

u will need to specify the div in your themes css file.. im a bit busy will post back with code...
<div id="wb_Flash1" style="position:absolute;left:6px;top:24px;width:960px;height:400px;z-index:100000" align="left">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="960" height="400" id="Flash1">
<param name="movie" value="preview.swf">
<param name="quality" value="High">
<param name="scale" value="ExactFit">
<param name="wmode" value="Window">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="false">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="false">
<param name="sAlign" value="L">
<embed src="preview.swf" width="960" height="400" quality="High" wmode="Window" loop="false" play="true" menu="false" allowfullscreen="false" scale="ExactFit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
</object>
</div>
replace the details with your swf info and try it ... this is without mucking around with the css. If it still doesnt work let me know...
