Flash movies (I believe object/embed tags in general) are what are
called "windowed" objects like <select> boxes and iframes, which means
any html element which displays over the same section of screen
realestate, no matter what the z-index, will appear _behind_ the
"windowed" element. Personally, I think it's a load of crap that some
large corporation (who shall remain nameless) spewed because they
didn't want to fix something that's broken. But that's the answer --
if you want your menu to always appear, you'd have to suppress display
of any windowed elements while the menu is open. I used to have a
function that would do this globally for the whole page, something
like:
function toggleWindowedElements(vis) {
vis = (display==true)? "visible" : "hidden";
var elements = getWindowedElements();
for (x = 0; x < elements.length; x++) {
elements[x].visibility = vis;
}
}
Unfortunately I don't remember how to get all the windowed elements on
the page.
