Hi

Flash will always come to the top as in the link below although this is not due to the Active-x i-ness of the plugin (Flash is only an ActiveX control for IE for Windows - see the object tag discussion at that xml.com link I posted last week).

Have you tried using the <object> only Satay code (i.e not Embed) - works ok on all modern browsers?

Also, presented text in an html document is not selectable when a Flash movie is over the top and wmode is transparent in Netscape Plugin API based browsers (wmode will work on all browsers with plugin 6.0r65 (41?) or greater.)
Clicking a form text  input in IE when a Flash movie is overlayed will cause the viewport to turn #000 and myself to say ####.

you can use the wmode parameter but that is not supported in all browsers

Hey, all.

Does anyone have any good experience with controlling the z-index of
objects? I am trying to implement something where an object (in this case,
some Flash) that is absolutely-positioned with respect to the viewport (with
position: fixed) can have content pass both over it and under it. My
experiments have yielded rendering problems in most common browsers. Here is
an example:

http://jessey.net/tests/z-object.html

I have hidden the fixed positioning from Internet Explorer, but it should
still respect the z-index values.
