Topic: album templates in CMS made simple

I'm hoping that someone can and will help me with the CMS made simple album module. I have used it before so I am a bit familiar with things but struggling with a couple issues now. I am deciding between two basic album templates, the greybox and the thickbox.
-greybox - works great in FF but in IE the enlarged images tend to comeup, flicker white and then load. This happens with each image in the series everytime.

-default- in both FF and IE the enlarged image comes up under the flash header. I know this is a common issue with flash and I know a tiny bit about z-index but don't know where to start with it in the css. Actually I did play with it but nothing seemed to help.

[solved this issue of the flash being on top with wmode] but still the issue for greybox template
I don't know what else to supply for now to get answers to my question but here is a link show the greybox 1st

Re: album templates in CMS made simple

If you did the Flash you might need to publish it with Wmode as explained in the following article

I read that article from a post on the CMS forum but no, I didn't build the flash. Darn

In order to use the method that the adobe.com link mentions, you don't need to have created the flash. The only changes you need to make involves the code you use to embed the flash flash file.

Yes! It works fine now. I followed the video instructions from that wmode link for Dreamweaver and its fine now. Thanks for your help!
