Layers

animation disregarding the Z-index

[fashezee]

I have two layers: one has Text and the other has an flash nimation. Although the animation's layer has a z-index of 1 and the layer containing text has two, the animation layer is displayed above the text layer?

whats the deal ?

Hello fazhezee, It may be that the flash plugin supercedes the layer z-index order. It's been a while since I've played with Flash and layers. Just out of curiousity, have you applied a visible border to your text layer and then offset the positioning to check for layer clipping? This can be very revealing...

That's been my experience - Flash always grabs the top of the pile.

Flash always grabs the top of the pile.

As do certain form elements... dropdown lists, radio buttons and ckeck boxes if memory servers me correctly.

I don't know if this is applicable in your case, but a workaround I use for this is to hide the layer with the flash on it to display whatever else you want.
