Does anyone know how to get a flash movie (object + embed) to act like any other HTML element re: z-index?
I'm building a site that has flash movies in it. They sit next to a standard html menu. Two of the menu items produce a submenu that partially overlaps the flash movies.
I want this sublayer (a 'position:absolute' div) to appear in front of the movie, but whatever I do, the movie ALWAYS clips my submenu.
First attempt had the flash movie just in the body, and the second attempt had the movie also in a layer (div) of it's own with z-index:1 ... other attempts were just versions of these.
Does anybody know whether there is a solution to this, or is that Flash always shows up in front of everything else on the page?
Have a look at the problem directly by going to:

Mouse over the projects button to see the submenu.
Cheers.
