flash in a web page

[simonAnderson]

Hi all,
I have made a flash menu and implemented it into a web page.
Some of these pages have an image gallery that is in a layer instead of a pop
up.
My problem is that the flash always sits on top of the draggable layer, even
when I give the menu a z-index of -1000 and the layer the z-index of 1000.

Has anybody seen this before? Or better yet, know a way around it?

Here is a link incase I was unclear.

Even some advice in the right direction or around this would be fantastic.
Cheers,
Simon

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.

Cheers, thanks for the help.
I knew I had encountered something that was going to be an issue.
The other option is to constrain the draggable area, and with smaller
resolutions this isn't going to be fun.
