From what I can find in the bug reports at
<http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/> at least some WebKit developers seem
to be of the opinion that this is due to a bug in the Flash plugin - see
for example the comments at:
<http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10111>
But also see
<http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6996>
which casts some doubt on where exactly responsibility lies.

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!
