I'm sorry I can't help you right now because i don't know the fix for it but I will keep this problem in mind. Is it safe to assume that you are using Javascripts for your dropdown menus?

This site describes the fix when you embed flashes outputted HTML on a page. http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=e5141 But when using the method you spoke of above (embedding an SWF using an iframe), we don't have access to flashes outputted code, so we can't add the needed parameters. Herein lies my problem. Trying to embed the flash code itself in custom_functions.php breaks the site. The iframe works, but my dropdowns appear behind the flash. Hmmm.... what to do, what to do.

Do you mind linking me to your websites so I can take a closer look, I suspect there is a way to reorder how the different layers are displayed on the website. Hi Jason,

I understand your questions but I don’t know how to make the dropdown menus to appear in front of the iframe. Do you mind linking me to your websites so I can take a closer look, I suspect there is a way to reorder how the different layers are displayed on the website.

But do you have any idea how I can implement the "wmode=transparent" parameter in flash so my dropdown menus will appear on top of and not behind my flash based feature box, when using the iframe embed option? Thanks! Great tutorial.
