Pop-Up Menus hidden by flash (*.swf) file

[ardim]

I'm working with some pop-up menus which by definition and behavior are supposed to float above everything else on the page. However, anywhere that the pop-up menus overlap with a flash file, the flash (*.swf) object overrides the pop up menu and hides the section of the menu that overlaps with it. Is there a property of the flash file or the menu object that I could modify to prevent this from happening?

I experimented with the z-index but it didn't seem to make a difference. Not sure if I used it correctly.

Congratulations! You have asked the #1 FAQ menu question!

Objects, Embeds and (some) Forms will always appear above HTML objects like pop-up menus, and z-index will do you no good on most (if not all) browsers. Your only choice is to MOVE IT or HIDE IT.

Thanks Gil,
That's disappointing news but at least now I know why this is happening and I can focus on a realistic solution instead of wasting my time with <Div>'s, <Layer>'s and Z-Index's.
