Hi,
I'm considering this purchase and would like to know if it overcomes problems when using a dropdown menu with a Flash movie immediately below the dropdown menu.

Also, does the horizontal menu have a setup option to center it?

Thanks.

Hi Frank,

Yes sure that is possible - just make sure the flash movie has wmode="transparent" attribute and then the menu will nicely come on top of the flash movie.

Greetings,
George

Works fine with Flash.

Is there a way I can use your wizard to center the menu? Does not seem that there is. If not, what CSS file must be modified, and what is the modification? Have tried margin: 0 0 with no result as yet.

Hi Frank,

Align Center is easy to do for horizontal menus

• Give the menu a width (there is a Menu Panel Width in the property inspector) like for example 600
• This will generate style="width:600px" attribute on your main menu DIV tag
• Just change it to be

  style="width:600px;margin:0 auto"

Thanks all!

Greetings,
George

Hi George,

Me again. I inserted the code you specified into my div statement and it appears to maintain the menu at the left side of the screen.

Here's the code:
<div id="navmenu1" class="dmxNavigationMenu dark_blue horizontal" style="width:380px; margin 0 auto">

I also tried margin 0 0 and that does not center it either.

Suggestions? I'm fairly new to CSS, but know just enough "to be dangerous." []

Further to the Flash part of this topic, it appears that in Firefox and Google Chrome, my Flash movie appears directly below the menu. In IE8, there's a gap of approx. 15 pixels below the menu.

Any suggestions to remedy this?

Thanks for your help to date...

I figured out a way to get the menu centered by dragging it into an inserted Dreamweaver apDiv which I centered using "auto auto" in the CSS settings for right and left margins.

Wondering why it did not work when I applied the code for the navmenu div that you suggested...

Hi Frank,

Well don't know about the Flash ... weird positioning it seems.

As for the center - what I suggested worked fine to me, but having a surrounded div works better in older browsers.

Hi I am having similar problems - immediately below my menu bar are two flash objects. I have added the code you suggested - wmode="transparent" - but it has made no difference, the movies still show over the top of the menu. Maybe I am putting the code in the wrong place - this is my Flash code - it is an externally generated flash file.
<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="845" height="91" title="Welcome Banner">
<param name="movie" value="index_banner.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="index_banner.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="981" height="91"></embed>
</object>

This was discussed within a live support chat session and the problem was resolved changing the wmode to transparent.

Yes, thanks this is now working lovely and thanks for the help which was very clear and easy to follow.
