Hi everyone... this is my first post and it's about an issue that's causing 
me
a few problems.

I'm currently designing/ building my company's web site, the test page be
viewed here: www.musflashtv.com/test.htm

1) This layout contains an embeded flash movie (.swf) with a transparent
background, this is the main navigation.

The flash navigation has a drop down menu that animates down and covers the
html page (containing links) below.

The problem is that in most current browsers such as; Firefox 2.0.05 (links
below template don't work), Netscape 8.1.3 (navigation drop down and links
don't work) and Opera 9.10 (links below template don't work), any links just
below the 'invisible' transparent area coverd by the navigation can't be
clicked 'through the flash file'. The exception is IE 7.0, everything is fin
e
there. (it hasn't been tested in any mac browsers though).

Because the area below the navigation on www.kitachi.info/work is one large
dummy jpeg file, the link below would be a much better example to look at.

The flash navigation is embedded in the html (tlp) template file using the
code below and aligned using an external style (.css) sheet, this html code 
not
only embeds the flash movie but it also tells the browser to display it's
background and as transparent. The flash movie is embedded in a layer that s
its
above the table.

3) The flash embed code:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.
cab#
version=8,0,0,0" name="shows-navigation-tranparent" width="851" height="300"
align="top" class="flash-navigation" id="shows-navigation-tranparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
<embed src="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" width="851" height="300"
align="top" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#000000"
name="navigation-tranparent" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" scale="exactfit" /
>
</object>

Does anybody know of any code that can solve this problem or know a differen
t
way of creating a flash navigation with a drop menu that can be embeded over
html?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated especially as this issue is
holding back progress in a big way.

Thanks in advance guys!
