I've accomplished similar things by managing focus... in other words, while
your menu is visible, you can tell the SWF to reject focus. I think that was a
workable way to prevent unwanted event propogation. Basically, I think I did
something like "myswf.onfocus = function(){myswf.blur()};" If you swap that in
and out when the menu is shown/hidden respectively, it *might* help. Give it a
shot.

Subject: Re: Bug? Div over flash firing flash mouse events on Safari & FF on
Mac, not Windows
I may be wrong. This is what I understand of the situation.
swfObject does ease the differences between browsers & OSs but this is a
request beyond that and is a limitation of using flash with z-index and active
areas
Maybe Aran or someone else may be able to expand on this or prove that I am
wrong. I would expect difficulties with all browsers trying this
but if on showing you menu you called a func via ex-interface within the movie
to inactivate objects on the stage and another event to reactivate them when
hiding the menu. This is pushing the envelop somewhat. Perhaps other will
offer some further insight

So the difference between OSs and Browsers is in their implementation,
and not something inherent to swfobject?
I would expect that this issue would be rather common, so I'm
surprised to hear the only workaround is so complex.
