Flash & Z-Order

[Lloyd K]

Hey quick query, I have my own portal thing going on with the code you supplied in examples and I have a Flash movie in the portlet, however Ext.MessageBox and the like appear UNDER the Flash, any way to resolve this?

No matter, "Ext.useShims = true" seems to have solved the issue.

Actually, this problem still affects Opera, any suggestions?

I'm having the same issue with the messagebox not displaying over the flash movie. Any ideas how this gets fixed. I tried Ext.useShims = true; but this didn't work for me...

I read an earlier post...

here is the solution:
add this line to flash object's params:
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">

and this parameter to <embed... tag
wmode="opaque"


or if you are using SWFObject as I am...
swfobject.addParam("wmode", "opaque");

FYI: I'm using this flv player:

Hey thanks for the heads up but as far as I can see this still affects me in Opera!
