ASP drop-downs are underneath / behind Flash Video Player

wmode, transparent is present but not working

[Cienwen]

Hello Good Webmasters.

I am using a streaming video service that is very popular; The Platform. In it I build a Player and set-up the feeds. Then I grab the Player code and embed the Player in my website pages.

My current problem is my ASP drop-down menus are showing up BEHIND the (Flash) Player. The Player code is really long! And it has the wmode set to transparent all over the place. So, I’m am not sure why it is doing that!

Here is Player code. It is very long but I have tried to strip out anything that will direct you to a real site. It has been anonymized.
