i'm working on a navigation system with drop-down (floating) DIVs. on some pages, the floating DIVs will have to be displayed over Flash SWFs. After placing the SWFs, I've realized that the floating DIVs are no longer visible. I've tried making the z-index of the floating DIV something like 1000 but it still doesn't display over the Flash SWF. is there a fix for this or am I screwed?

there are hacks and z-index support but there is not an all browser solution. try another approach. in your words, "you are screwed"

panic time averted. sorry about that, i've had too much caffeine. I did a quick google search and found that if you use the following piece of code on your Flash SWF then you can display floating DIVs over the Flash file:
also insert this parameter into your tag:
wmode="opaque"
it works!

for some reason, this didn't show up in my previous comment:
param name="wmode" value="opaque"

as was said though, it doesn't work in all browsers

not all browsers support it but believe what you will, you are not the first to ask this questions.
i was part of a 10 man two month effort to solve this issue, while i'm no genius, alienating browsers is something i will never do. be careful have fun

well, I tried it in IE, Firefox and Safari and it works just fine. Opera is another story...
