Display DIV's on top of Flash Content

Search:

The solution to display a div on top off flash for the newer browser is the wmode option opaque or transparent.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="100" height="200">
    <param name="movie" value="test.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    <embed src="matrix.swf" width="100" height="200" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque"></embed>
</object>

I found this code and used it on my website, (www.animatixs.com), for the banner, it works perfectly and was easy to work out how. Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much for this solution! I would have never got this on my own and have been trying to figure that out for a couple days now.

Thanks!
