Coldfusion Flash Forms with CFLAYOUT

I've noticed on the Adobe Coldfusion 8 forums that people trying out different combinations of tags together in ways that Adobe probably didn't think of, which is a good thing.

One of the problems that people are having is mixing cfform format="flash" and the new UI tags.

The issue, I think, has something to do with the z-index of flash and the new UI elements. When someone mixes a flash element with any of the new UI elements such as cfmenu or cfwindow it pops up BEHIND the flash element.

To fix this if you are using cfform format="flash" is to also add the attribute wmode="opaque".

Happy Coding...

Peter's Gravatar Hi,

Any ideas how to do this with a tabbed html cflayout - where it does exactly the same thing.

Not sure why they didn't just force the cfmenu to be on top in all cases as I can't think of any case where you would want the menu to appear behind another object.

Cheers
Peter
