Why flash menu do not overlaps the flash banner?

[Uzair]

Hi Experts,

I have 2 flash files, one for the flash menu with submenu onmouseover & the other one is the flash banner below the menu.

Problem is that flash menu moves the banner flash down, I want it exactly below it. Menu does this because of the height of sub menu. The sub menu should appear OVER the flash banner while it takes its full space ( height ) & this causes the flash banner move down.

HERE IS THE LIVE URL OF THIS PROBLEM (http://active-forex.com/sitepreview/). Please guide me how can I fix this? I have tried WMODE Transparent & Opaque for the flash menu but it didn't help me. Please help...

Regards

Try setting position:absolute; to #topMenu
And you'd need to add some code to your object tags to make them transparent, see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14201.html

Position thing didn't produce any result. I also tried the WMODE=transparent & opaque but those didn't work either.

Position thing didn't produce any result. Have you removed that drop down effect? Now, I don't see any gap there.

No, drop down is still there. If you notice, it now appears behind the flash banner. My flash designer did some changes in the menu & its not taking that much height now. But the actual problem is still there, the sub menu should popup above the flash banner.

I think a better approach is to merge the banner and the menu into one flash swf, that way you can position the sub menu on a layer on top of the banner. Check this web development company (http://www.istarwebsolutions.com)who has did just that.

Than kyou for your response, but this is not the solution. Because on inner pages, there is no flash banner but only the flash menu.
