I have used a css drop down menu, everething works find BUT

when iu have a flash header just under my menu, the menu expands behind the header so you can't realy see it.

When I replase my flash header with a plain jpg image everything works ok!

Any suggestions?

Flash is outside of the DOM - it's something that really isn't a "part" of HTML. Therefore, it will always appear above any HTML that supposedly goes on top of it.

However, there are methods to get around it (I've posted on my blog about this - let me dig it up...)

Hmm..
here it is..

You must set the background of the Flash object to be transparent. In two places. Add this line to your object/embed code within your (X)HTML file:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

…and in the line that starts out <embed src="…>, you must add 'wmode="transparent"'.

I believe you also have to set the background of the Flash file as transparent, as well.
