Frames and Flyout Menus.

lilandy · Apr 9th, 2008, 20:17

Hi Everyone!

I have a problem which ime hoping someone may have an answer to.
Ime not sure if its possible to solve or not but ime sure some smart individual will

.

I Have a website which is based on a frameset, Frame 1 for navigation and Frame 2 for content.

I have created a (I think) Very nice navigation menu using flash, and would like to extend it to make it a "flyout" menu.

The question I have, is it posible to get a flash "flyout" menu to "flyover" the navigation frame into the content frame with a transparancy effect?

I can't get it to fly over the navigation frame, it just buries itself under the content frame!!

Any ways i hope that makes sence to people and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

ouch, you have soooooo much to learn, you are breaking every rule in the book

as such, i don't think anyone could directly answer you question, but we could tell you how it can be improved, if you like that idea better don't be afraid to post around and ask

check out the 'New to Web Design' forum and the 'HTML Forum' forum

welcome

ok, where do i start

'breaking every rule in the book'

frames are not only frowned upon they are totally against every good website point, for example, search engine optimisation

also, flash menus are not a good idea, for the same reason

right click disable does no good what-so-ever, all i have to do is hit view source in my browser menu instead of right clicking

there is no way to protect this, so if that is why you used frames, you know now that it dont work.

at least you have a little css knowledge, so if i were you i would look towards that.

Ah yes I know about the search engine problems. Bin working round them so far.

And the right click thing was more to deter people from pinching photo's etc.
We all know nothing is un-breakable tho heh.

Thanks for ure input tho allways apreciated :-D
