smashu
page)
the upper drop-down menu (under Products, Solutions...) should overlap
the
flash animation. it works fine in firefox 3 but not in IE7
Here's the same file with the swf object inserted in the traditional
way (no swf object):

wmode:transparent works on both IE and FF
I'm using SWFObject v2.1 / firefox 3 // IE7 / windows xp
I can't find a solution for this.
I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

This article says you can use either "transparent" or "opaque" for your
wmode. Since you're also specifying a bgcolor, I think it makes more sense
to use opaque. If you truly need transparent for some reason, consider not
using the bgcolor. Also note from the article that not all browsers/plugin
versions will support this, so sometimes, the menu may still appear below
the flash. I believe the old-school way of fixing this in the past was to
put an iframe behind each menu dropdown element, because I believe the
iframe was capable of overlaying the flash. I may be wrong on this, but I
seem to recall something of that nature before.
2. You are passing wmode and bgcolor as part of the "attributes" object.
According to the documentation for swfobject
(http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation), these attributes
should be part of the "params" object. I think this is most likely the
cause of your problem.
