SWF blocking view of Java Menu

I?m working on a page that has a java drop down menu; I would like to add an
swf file to this page. I would like the swf to be at the top of the page under
the drop down menu. The swf file blocks the view of the drop down menu. In a
previous post (Adding Flash as a background) the solution used was css. Would
this also work in this case? At this time moving the menu is out of the
question I am limited to where I can add new content. Any suggestion
appreciated.

i know this problem..but i don;t know the answer...if there is one.. all i can
say is, try to design the menu inside flash... or look for assistance on at the
sun java's site.. they might know how to solve this.

There is. I suspect this is a JavaScript menu, not a Java menu. There
are extremely significant differences between those two languages, but
that's beside the point. ;) Here are a couple technotes from Macromedia on
the solution:
