I've seen this behavior first hand. 
Z-index doesn't help. The flash movie tends to peak through most things that appears on top of it - ESPECIALLY if it is animated in anyway.
My solution: on rollover - hide the movie.
Safari seems to be the only one that has this problem in fact.

This works in IE6 and not safari!?!

I would confirm the z-index of your dropdown parent container and flash parent container. If you haven’t set this, apply position:relative z-index:1 to the flash container and position:relative; z-index:5 to the dropdown container to see if that helps.  Applying it to the container instead of the dropdown/flash themselves will help you in ie6. you may have to do both: flash container – z-index1, flash- z-index:2, dropdowncontainer:z-index5; dropdown:z-index:10…

 

If you can survive without zindex, you are better off.

 

I’d also check to see how you are embedding the flash movie. Are you using the UFO script, embed, object, combination…?

Subject: [WSG] CSS based menu popping behind Flash movie only in Safari problem

 

I have a CSS based dynamic menu that drops down and there is a flash movie that is right under the menu. The flash movie is set to transparent and the menu pops down over the flash menu in all browsers correctly except in Safari. In Safari the menu displays over the flash movie but when you go over the top of sub menu items they drop behind the flash movie for some reason. Is there anyone out there that can help me? I really appreciate it!
