Flash 8 Firefox Issue and swfObject

[AndyT]

HI Folks!

This is a kind of an interesting one! I am building a rollup footer that will be an interactive swf that appears over a bunch of web sites that I have designed and programmed. I decided to use an iframe to drag the site in underneath the footer.

It works beautifully (now that I have done it all in css and removed any tables!) but the flash doesn't seem to work in Firefox! The positioning etc is perfect but the functionality has disappeared! D'oh!

Also, if the site that appears in the iframe is flash and uses the swfObject, it tends to load over the Flash roll up in the footer. This appears to be because the content takes longer to load than the footer (at present!).

Is there any way that I can guarantee that the footer rollup is always at the front? I assume that this would be an onLoad issue and there would be a Javascript way around this?

I have attached my wireframe working model and it is online at www.flashdesigns.com.au/dev - please excuse the dodgy buttons and functionality of the swf!

This one has had me scratching my head all afternoon! Thanks heaps for any responses and ideas! Ya'll rock!

Cheers Andy

Hi

I am having an issue with the swfObject and loading a Flash navigator over the top of a page in an HTML layer. The content of the page is pulled in using an iframe and the Flash navigator sits over the top in said layer. THis is to

The problem is that if the page in the iframe uses the swfObject it displays in front of the layer! I assume that this is an onLoad issue and a Javascript may well be able to keep the layer on top where it belongs! I have tried putting the iframe inside a layer and setting its z-index to 10 with the Flash navigator to 100 but to no avail!

Also the flash is not working in Firefox for some reason! it is displaying but there is no functionality! The wireframe is available at www.flashdesigns.com.au/dev and I hace attached the source etc.

Please somebody help this is a tricky one!

Thanks AndyT
