Hi. I am trying to create a flash dropdown menu bar.
At first i was just going to create the hole site design in flash. But... Then i stumbled onto a forum post...

Whether it was here or at a different forum..i doo not know.However I most likely seen it here.

The post was about how this guy's DropDown menu was behind his music player. And he wanted to fix it.

I went to his testing site. And i noticed that (looked like) both of those flash objects were separate flash files.
I remember right clicking under the flash menu and it didnt bgin up a flash context menu.

If there is a way to do that .. please let me know.

Heres what im looking for(For those ppl that dunno wtf im talking about).
A menu that when i click the button it expands the menu outside of the flash window.

hope that was correctly said.
Thanks, PlaGuEX

create your usual menu in flash in a fairly big flash document..
embed your flashmovie in a div layer with a high z-index and don't forget to make your flash transparent..

uhh... could you gimme a quicky(Example) on how the div layer with a "high" z-index would look like.

EDIT:: I think i figured it out.

using a layer

<style>
#Layer {
	position:absolute;
	width:200px;
	height:115px;
	z-index:1000;
	left: 86px;
	top: 52px;
}
</style>
