Here's the issue: When I use Flash on a website and create a dialog box that should be above all other elements, I typically just adjust the z-index for the dialog box. However, in IE6 it's necessary to set a transparent wmode for the flash. The problem arises when the Flash programmer refuses to provide me with the flash file and suggests using an iframe linking to their website instead.
- My website contains an iframe
- Within the iframe, there is a Flash object
- When displaying the dialog box, the Flash object covers the dialog box regardless of the z-index or wmode settings I try to tweak using Firebug
I am unable to communicate with the Flash developer (who claims the Flash object will always remain on their website) so perhaps you have a solution? Also, strangely, this setup works properly on some computers but not on others. Any idea what could be causing this inconsistency?
