Are Flash Movies and DHTML incompatible?

Recently I added a Flash Movie to one of the pages on my website. The presence
of the movie upsets the DHTML drop-down menu and makes it impossible to use,
while clicking on the DHTML menus causes the Flash movie to flicker. Are the
two incompatible on the same page?

DHTML+Flash is a major problem because flash sits as an active x object on the
webpage which means that you will have issues with layer order etc.

hi there!

I have used. Allwebmenus to successfully incorporate drop-down menus
and flash movies. it works for most browsers. it is really useful when
you wan tto avoid coding.

Much appreciated, Don, I'm checking out the Allwebmenus site now. I had not heard of them before.
