Flash + Transparent PNG Background + Hover Div Menus + IE = Problem

[tmccarter]

Hi everyone,

If this question is already answered somewhere in here, please point me in the right direction and sorry for the trouble.

I'm working on http://remaxallpro.activequest.com (http://remaxallpro.activequest.com/) and I'm having problems with the semi-transparent png backgrounds when I embed flash into the page, but only in Internet Explorer.

Here's a link to a screenshot comparison (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll22/wakesurfsnow81/screenshots.jpg)

Notice how the semi-trans white seems to fade out away from the top left in the drop down, and in the 5-pixel border encircled. On pages without flash, it's fine. In Firefox, Safari, it's fine.

I tried using the Unit PNG fix, and that made the image backgrounds look perfect, but then my drop-down hover menus became buggy, i.e. they would hide if you moused over link text in the menu and then moved back into the white empty space in the menu. Argh.

I'm running IE 8.0.7077.0, Firefox 3.0.9, on Windows 7 build 7077 x64

Can anyone tell me if they experience the same thing / give me a clue as to why this happens?

Thanks so much,

-Tim
