This will make your drop down menu in Jamroom 3 go on top of your flash player and not drop down behind your player if your player is close to the menu.

Add this to the code loading your flash player.........

In the <object> part add........

Code:

Code

<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

In the <embed> part add..........

Code:

Code

wmode="opaque"

Works in IE for sure, but not tested in all browsers.

This may work for flash players, but it does not work for embedded windows media players, does anyone know how to get around this?

Thanks

Figured it out, you have to change this

Code

PARAM NAME=”transparentatStart” VALUE=”false”

to this

Code

PARAM NAME=”transparentatStart” VALUE=”true”

and use transparent instead of opaque.

Works nicely.

When you play the video, the dropdown menu is hiding again. Does anyone know how to make this work with all the browsers?

[Douglas]

Yes it is and I haven't found a way to get around it, also... the menus still hide behind the controls in FireFox.

Can one of you give me a link to a page with these problems on them.
I'd like to see what your talking about, and maybe I can help.

Thanks.......

<PARAM NAME="windowlessVideo" VALUE="true"> makes it work when using IE but Firefox and Opera are still not working. Any other ideas what to do with this?

[daddysylem]

Make sure you add the..........
<PARAM NAME="windowlessVideo" VALUE="true">
to the "<object" section of your code.

And add the........
windowlessVideo="true"
to the "<embed" section of your code.

The "<object" section handles IE, and the "<embed" section is what handles firefox.

I'm not sure any of this will work for Opera..........

Hi daddysylem, please check tunesterz.ca and check the source code. I thought I had already done what you suggested but it still doesn't work. I don't care about Opera that much but Firefox...

I'm sorry I didn't check your code before I posted that.......

Im going to see if I can duplicate this on my test site so I can play with the code and try to get this working for you.

I'll let you know what I find out..........

It seems to be working fine with IE, its just in FF the menu still tries to hide behind the controls only... it doesn't hide behind the playscreen. Is there a variable you can use to keep the controls behind the menu?

Thanks for your help daddysylem

I'm sorry but I've tried everything.
Nothing I can find will work on Firefox to keep the menu from going behind the controls of windows media player. The only suggestions I can make at this time would be to make the media player popup in its own window to play or move it to your side bar instead of the main body.

Firefox is just not going to cooperate on this.............
