This is a section of flash that is working well but all I want to do is to SEND TO BACK, so that my menus expand over the top of the flash file

Can someone help

<script type="text/javascript" src="skin1/flash/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.registerObject("myId", "9.0.0", "skin1/flash/expressInstall.swf");
</script>

You need to put this in a layer <div> and set the z-index in that, and the z-index in the layer for your menus, so that the menus go over the flash movie.

What paul said, however, the divs need to be absolute or relatively positioned.
Also, IE7 has a bug so you have to set parent divs to higher z-index than the child ones.

yes, you might need to apply a css fix in the ie7 css file separately.

Thanks Guys for puting me on the right track

I have been playing with this z-index options what I dont understand is it goes transparent, but where does the send to back thing come in

I dont want to go transparent, I just want to send it to back

Hi
This may help you grasp what it exactly means, don't let it put you off and let it go other your head, what this link gives you is how to surround your flash so that it displays as you require from Here > http://segment7.net/projects/web/z-index.html

The link will show how to implement the css and wrap your flash..
