Having overcome my fireworks dilema, I am now faced with another problem. Within my site I have placed a flash movie. this is placed within a cell below my nav bar (with popups). When I view the pop up menus, in the page with the flash movie, the edges of the popup are cut off by what appears to be the edge of the flash image/movie. How can this problem be solved as I need to add some more flash images to the site. I haven't got this live yet, so sorry it can't be seen.

Hey Dan,

Are you talking about opening new windows? Or within the page such as a javascript roll over?

The problem is that Flash is the dominatin feature on any web site. Nothing else will ever open on top of it, just underneath it. So simply make sure that when your nav bar pop ups are in full view, they are not trying to pop up on top of the flash. This will never happen. You just need to make sure you have your spacing right.

ManJonStudios,

I would be curious to ask you, what if you setup the content using css and specified a zindex or something of that nature for each area, including the flash area? Will the css positioning/layering overrule the need Flash seems to have to be on top?

Just wondering if you had tried it this way or not.
