Drop Down Menu Help

Question

Hi,
I am new here and try my best to struggle though to find an answer. After several day of trying I give up and am turning to the forum for help.
I Have a Spry Horizontal Menu.
When viewing the meno in Live view (F12) my sub-menu buttons appear opaque (you can see the contents of the page behind it). Also when placing the curser on the menu it seem confused if it is on the botton or the page underneath it. The contentson the page is simple text. I read that there may be a problem with Flash but this is not the case.
I have tried and adjusted the Z-Indexes but it does not seem to help.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.
PS. If the answer to this was answered before I am sorry. I did try and find it.
