css menu does not display over flash in ie

  #1  
May 9th, 2008
I have a css based menu with flyouts enabled on hover. The menu needs to display over flash on the home page of the website. It does not do that in ie 6 or ie 7 but it works just fine in firefox. The url to the site is http://www.blackdogbuilders.com.

Thanks in advance for your help.

This seems to be common problem with IE6 & IE7. All solutions recommend to use wmode but I seen you already use that. Beside this suggestion they often mention SWFObject and link to this article. Have look and tell us if it worked

This is a very difficult problem, because you are trying to create transparency on top of a moving image. Remember that text has either a colored background, or has a transparent background that shows what is behind it. But it becomes a huge task of working out for each pixel whether or not it should be test pixels, or part of a movie. This doubles the processor time needed to show the movie.
