I did get it to work, but I have two notes:

* In the flash section you linked to above, it doesn't actaully say that the method is a javascript method, and it might be nice to mention that explicitly. * And the note that says:

Note: If you experience performance problems or if the caret does not display (sometimes an issue in Firefox 2.0), try explicitly setting wmode to "window" as follows: _IG_EmbedFlash("example.swf", "wrapper", {wmode: "window"});

- If you use that optional parameter, the menu again appears behind the object.

Thanks for the help! - Jedigurljess

Hey jedigurljess,

You should use the recently released Flash library to embed Flash content in your gadget:http://www.google.com/apis/gadgets/ui.html#Flash

Using the _IG_EmbedFlash() method can help solve this problem. Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks, Dann

Anyone know a way to force the menu to appear in front of the content? Right now it is behind and hard to see. I am embeding a flash movie:

<embed allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/quizcount.swf" quality="high" width="300" height="180"></embed>
