There may already be a fix for this that I can't find, so if there is then consider this a support post. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>Did you have any plans for a future release to automatically bring menus to the front of Flash and form elements?
I know that you can fool IE by making the Flash movie transparent. Not ideal in all situations but it works. Netscape and others are still a problem though. I read something about using hidediv tags or something similar, but I'm sure that's not very ideal either.
There are some other menu creation programs, like Milonic, that will do this automatically, but I own yours and prefer to stick with it. This seems a necessary fix though if it's not already been addressed.
Any temporary ideas you can offer until that's offered in a another release are appreciated. Thanks <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Most (if not all) browsers treat Flash and form elements like select lists as 'active content' and thus display those on top of everything else.
As far as I know there's really not much one can do about that in a reliable cross-browser way.
If I have a chance I will look into it, but there are currently no plans for a new release, nor do I have a temporary solution for you.
Sorry!
