Hi folks, great conversation we got going here. :)
I just checked a site I did that uses suckerfish and swfObject...
iBook g4 using OS 10.4 and Safari 2.0.4(419.3)
The flyouts actually behave very well when the Flash is animating (no
flickering or anything - perfect)... but when the Flash stops animating
that is when the flyouts misbehave: some of the sub-menu items stay
hidden until you roll-over them.
Seems like when Flash quits re-drawing, that is when the menus act funky.
Might be an interesting test to setup something that forces Flash to
invisibly re-draw...

I have done this a few times. The only way to get it to not freak is to
remove ALL hover effects along with the wmode suggestion.
Hover effects on the menu that is... :P
Moving on... Can we make a list of possible solutions for Safari (for
those having problems)?
1. Design a menu system that does not use "flyouts" for Safari (i.e.
browser-sniff)
2. Avoid using "flyouts" completely.
3. Design your site so that Flash does not interfere with crucial GUI
elements like the navigation
4. Accept the problem -- It is still somewhat usable, right? :)
Other suggestions?
