The menu and Flash

Hi,
For some reason the menu drops down behind the Flash clip in Netscape. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Hi,
I don't know how to put flash in the way you have it. So, I tried yours using the Object code
Code:
<OBJECT codeBase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0 height=550 width=850 classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000>
<PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="head.swf">
<PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high">
<PARAM NAME="wmode" VALUE="opaque">
<embed src="head.swf" quality="high" wmode=transparent pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="526" height="172">
</embed>
</OBJECT>
<PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="head.swf">
<PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high">
<PARAM NAME="wmode" VALUE="opaque">
<embed src="head.swf" quality="high" wmode=transparent pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="526" height="172">
</embed>
</OBJECT>
Sometimes the menus would drop over the top if I left the mouse sitting on the menu item and waited, and sometimes they wouldn't even open.
In order to test the code on your page [which I downloaded], I substituted a couple of different swf files and there was no problem at all with the menu dropping over them. I tried combo5.swf which has animation and music, and also the swf file from The GreaterLouisville site which you can see at that link to see what I was using. It has mouseover in the flash and animation. Both those swf files worked fine with the code I posted above.
I can't give you an answer because I don't do any kind of creating of swf files, but it would seem since the substituted swf files work, there might be something in your file that is causing the problem.
