It is impossible to get a div sitting on top of flash in all browsers. Your best bet is to hide the flash while your overlay is showing and show it when it hides again. If the blank space where your flash was will be obvious you could set a background image similar-looking to the flash on it's

Sure, that's what an "object" is. But OOP is not just about an "object". There is a lot more involved. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of _javascript_ - but it has faux classes and objects, and this is why my opinion of _javascript_ is that it is prototype, not object. Cheers, Anthony. Brett
