JavaScript Menus Appear Behind Flash

Question

I am creating a page with a flash file embedded below a
navigation bar with drop-down menus. The nav bar was created in
Fireworks and imported. The problem is that the drop downs are
appearing BEHIND the embedded Flash file so you can't see them. I
have been looking all over for a solution to this without much
success. If anyone has any ideas I would be appreciative if you
share them.
Regards,
Andy

Answer 1

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
properly!).
