Flash drop down menu over HTML

[digitalnofx]

Hey guys,

I just wanted to know if this was possible, I need to make an animated drop down menu over an HTML Frameset. In other words I need the menu to drop from the top frame over the body of the main frames page. All I need is a direction, Is this possible at all? Actionscript? Or should I settle for a DHTML or Java menu?


Thanks!!

it's not related to Flash, I think u can do it in DHTML or/ and layers

since the flash object is embedded into html and not a recgonized in the DOM it is possible to do this but it can be messy. Flash itself will always try to appear at the upper most level on a browser (ie it should go over everything written in xHTML) For example, a CSS layered menu will always appear to go underneath a flash movie. So try making a menu and put it on a header page. Then nest that page in a frameset and test it. The flash menu should overlap all the frames provided they are not iFrames (it may do it for iFrames too but I have not tested that out).
