Q: Sorry to bother you again, but we've done everything suggested in your fix regarding flash obscuring the multiple drop down menu, but we're still having the same problem in Firefox.
We've - set the parameter in the data file to - var dmObjectsCheck=1;
We've added the following to the start of the data file -
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
return false;
}
We've embeded the flash as suggested to -
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
height="150" width="732" name="if-header">
<param name="movie" value="images/flash/if-header.swf">
<param name="quality" value="best">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed height="150" name="if-header"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
src="images/flash/if-header.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="732" quality="best"
wmode="opaque" play="true">
</object>
But still our multiple drop down menu sits behind the flash. Are we missing something else?
A: See it is necessary to have opaque parameters in <object> and <embed>tags to display submenus correctly in Firefox.
So, you should open .js file for your flash and find "embed" and"object" words.
And add opaque parameters, for example:
swfNode = '<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" src="'+ this.getAttribute('swf') +'" width="'+ this.getAttribute('width') +'" height="'+ this.getAttribute('height') +'"';
swfNode += ' id="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" name="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" ';
var params = this.getParams();
for( var key in params){ swfNode += [key] +'="'+ params[key] +'" '; }
var pairs = this.getVariablePairs().join("&");
if (pairs.length > 0){ swfNode += 'flashvars="'+ pairs +'"'; }
swfNode += '/>';
} else { // PC IE
if (this.getAttribute("doExpressInstall")) {
this.addVariable("MMplayerType", "ActiveX");
this.setAttribute('swf', this.xiSWFPath);
}
swfNode = '<object id="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="'+ this.getAttribute('width') +'" height="'+ this.getAttribute('height') + '">';
swfNode += '<param name="movie" value="'+ this.getAttribute('swf') +'" /> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> ';
var params = this.getParams();
for( var key in params) {
swfNode += '<param name="'+ key +'" value="'+ params[key] +'" />';
}
Q: Where can I find the onClick code for the html javascript popup?
A: See you can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage. For example you've added an image in your html page. You should specify the ID for it, for example:
<p><img id="open_popup" border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29"></p>
So, in the Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.
Actually you can assign id to any object on your page manually. You should specify ID's - id="xxxx"for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.
If you want to show the popup when your page loads you should leave these fields empty:
onMouseOver:"",
onMouseOut:"",
onClick:"",
Q: Does your Tree support right to left languages, like Hebrew? It's is very important for us.
I tried it but the text of the items are left justify.
A: You can use right-to-left languages in the Tree Menu in the same way as in standard htmlcode.
Please, set <HTML dir="rtl">.
Try to set the following parameter:
var titemAlign = "right";
Q: Is there a way to increase the margin between the text on the main tree menu and the edge of the dhtml menu control. The text appears to be right up against the left margin.
A: You can add symbol before item's text, for example:
[" Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "0", "", ],
or you can write:
["+<div style='padding-left: 15px;'>Deluxe Tree: XP Style</div>","", "", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "0", "", ],
Actually you can use any html code within dhtml menu control items.
