Since CF8, it is possible now to use the CFWindow! Very great tool but not so nice when appear over a CFGRID already in Flash (format). What will be the trick to give priority to the CFWINDOW in such a case?

I have the same effect with the CFMENU when a page start under the menu with a CFCHART in Flash! We like those effects but they need to be consistent as the CFMENU will require to appear over the chart and not going to the back of the chart.

if you are using a flah grid inside a flsh form, it is simple:
just set wmode="transparent" attribute in <cfform> tag.

if you are using a flash grid in an html form... you are in trouble...
the only way i was able to achieve this is altering the DOM with jQuery
(you can do it any way you like: i like jQuery :)):

$(function(){
$("embed").attr({wmode:'Transparent'});
$("object param[name='wMode']").attr({value:'Transparent'});
});

Some component will fit with the first solution (thank you). But some other component not have the possibilities to be established as transparent (such as the CFMENU). Maybe I am missing some information but form the basic CF they are not.

Samething today with the famous datefield CFINPUT where if you have a first row with the Starting Date and the following row with the Ending Date (both with a CFINPUT TYPE = DATEFIELD), the calendar will appear in the background. Very powerful tools but we still missing several options/attributes in order to use them out-from-the-box!

In the meantime, all this is from EXT technology and I guess the CF9 will be enhanced a lot for all this little twicking to apply!

I realize that my question come to be more a discussion as I am sparkle my problems with many different problems (all related to the famous Flash and new components from CF8). I do not expect a simple answer but simply if anybody have related article or partial answer to one of the problem (just like the thing about Transparent for CFFORM in flash), please let me know.
