| Either do the menus as part of the flash, or use opaque wmode (do NOT use
transparent)

| Setting the Z index does nothing when dealing with layers and Flash. All you
need to do is set the properties of the Flash element to transparent. This
will allow DHTML layers to fall in front of the flash.
**Add this where it states the parameters: <param name="transparent">
**Add this to the Embed Src tag: wmode="transparent"

| NO!!!
Transparent wmode is incredibly buggy and does all sorts of weird things to
corrupt our movie .. don't use it.
try opaque mode, which is much less buggy and still allows you to put other
elements on top of your flash
