: the quickest, reliable fix is what hinted at — the Flash movie must be embedded with a window mode (wmode) that allows HTML to stack above it. 's pointer to an embedding tutorial is also on the right track.

Use wmode only long enough to test the stacking effect; opaque is usually best (gives correct stacking without the performance hit of transparency). The wmode parameter must appear in both the <param> (for Internet Explorer/ActiveX) and the <embed> attributes (for other browsers) so every plugin sees it. If you use a JavaScript embed helper (SWFObject or similar) set the wmode attribute there before writing the object into the page.

Troubleshooting checklist:

  • Confirm both <param name="wmode"> and the wmode attribute on the embed are present and set (opaque or transparent).
  • Clear cache and reload after changing embed markup — the plugin can cache parameters.
  • Ensure the HTML element that should appear above the SWF has position (relative/absolute) and a higher z-index; Flash with wmode set enters the normal stacking flow so ordinary z-index rules apply.
  • Prefer opaque unless you need see-through visuals; transparent hurts performance and can introduce rendering glitches.
  • If the site must work long-term, plan to replace the Flash menu: browsers removed Flash support in 2020 and relying on it is fragile. Rebuild the dropdown with HTML/CSS/JS (or SVG/Canvas) to get accessibility, mobile support, and stable stacking without wmode hacks.

These steps expand on the earlier replies and cover common pitfalls you will hit when trying to overlay HTML elements on a Flash menu.

putting a flash menu is no different than putting a normal flash menu. if you use flash or any other flash menu generator you may have an option to import it to HTMl. if you use a html editor it may also have a flash import wizard. here's something which may help you:
