Mini-calendar: popup hidden behind another Flash object.
Hi all.
Firstly, I am not an expert coder so forgive me.
I have embedded a Localendar mini-calendar into my website - but when I click on an event, the pop-up is hidden behind another Flash slideshow that is next to the calendar.
Is there a way that I can ensure the calendar pop-up sits on top of everything else?
The web page is at:

Thank you! biggrin

Re: Mini-calendar: popup hidden behind another Flash object.
Ah yes, the wonderful old "z-index" issue. If we didnt have to worry about Internet Explorer, I'd say wrap your flash content in a <div>, and set the z-index so it always appeared in the background.

The problem is, IE just doesnt handle this setting correctly. There are a lot of workarounds (just Google "IE Z-index bug " and you'll see what I mean)

Whenever I run across this problem, I usually end up trying a number of different fixes until something finally works. It's just an unfortunate issue that is another weakness of IE.
