A work around for this issue is to use absolute, or relative positioning on your containers (div) in conjunction with z-index. For an example see here: http://dp07prsa.d-p.com - this site is not yet live, but you can at least get and idea.
The main html page lies beneath the Flash object, and the html menu that exposes the flash lies above. There is a lot more going on here (there's an iframe that comes into play as well) but you can at least see a method for working around this issue. I'm hoping to set up a blog soon, and give an example with code.
