 * Hi –
 * My site is: [http://www.commonground.org/testsite](http://www.commonground.org/testsite)
 * Flashfader is the perfect plugin for what i want – a simple, no frills image 
   slideshow on the frontpage of my site.
 * However, I cannot get the flashfader object to stay behind the dhtml menu I have
   setup. The menu layers over the flashfader object at first, but when a new photo
   is drawn, it pops behind.
 * I have inserted the code (as discussed here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/85291?replies=25](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/85291?replies=25))‘
   <param name=”wmode” value=”transparent” />’ and i have set the z-index on my 
   menu to 100 and on the flashfader div to 0.
 * Additionally, I have set the wmode value to opaque.
 * All to no avail. Can anybody help me out with this? I’m happy to compensate.
 * Thanks!
 * Here’s the plugin code:
 * $tmpl = ‘<object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ codebase
   =”[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0&#8243](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0&#8243);
   
   width=”‘.$width.'” height=”‘.$height.'” id=”flashfader” align=””> <param name
   =”movie” value=”‘.get_settings(‘siteurl’).’/wp-content/plugins/flashfader.swf”/
   > <param name=”FlashVars” value=”path2xml=’.get_settings(‘siteurl’).’/wp-content/
   flashfader/images.xml”> <param name=”quality” value=”high” /> <param name=”bgcolor”
   value=”‘.$color.'” /> <param name=”wmode” value=”transparent” /> <embed src=”‘.
   get_settings(‘siteurl’).’/wp-content/plugins/flashfader.swf” FlashVars=”path2xml
   =’.get_settings(‘siteurl’).’/wp-content/flashfader/images.xml” quality=”high”
   bgcolor=”‘.$color.'” width=”‘.$width.'” height=”‘.$height.'” name=”flashfader”
   align=”” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer”></embed></object>&#8217](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer”></embed></object>&#8217);;}
   else { // valid xhtml $tmpl = ‘<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data
   =”‘.get_settings(‘siteurl’).’/wp-content/plugins/flashfader.swf” width=”‘.$width.'”
   height=”‘.$height.'”> <param name=”movie” value=”‘.get_settings(‘siteurl’).’/
   wp-content/plugins/flashfader.swf” /> <param name=”FlashVars” value=”path2xml
   =’.get_settings(‘siteurl’).’/wp-content/flashfader/images.xml” /> <param name
   =”bgcolor” value=”‘.$color.'” /> <param name=”wmode” value=”transparent” /> <
   param name=”quality” value=”high” /></object>’; } And here’s the call line for
   flashfader:
 * <div id=”featurephoto”><?php include (ABSPATH.’wp-content/flashfader/flashfaderhtml.
   txt’); ?></div>
    And the CSS for that div:
 * #featurephoto {
    z-index:0; }
