    i think that i posted in that thread.
    here is what we came up with:

    1- use wmode=transparent in the object/embed tags

    2- use z-index (futile, but just for fun)

    3- place the menu code lower in your html file than the object tag (kind of an ad hoc way of z-indexing)

    4 - dont expect it to be great in every browser. I have used this and it is great in PCIE, good in FF, and poor in safari.

    If a client insists on doing this, make sure that you set the expectations very low, because it is a technical nightmare. If they think that it is going to be perfect every time, they will be sadly disappointed.

    also - milonic.com has a solution which uses iframes and a lot of js. very clunky, but looks pretty good.
