the pain of dhtml and flash mixed....

I'm not quite sure of how to solve this problem, but the problem I'm having is that, when mixing Flash and Dhtml together..., your dhtml menu goes under the flash...

This is the layout that I have, the flash (800px X 420px) on the top, and I have links (the Dhtml menus) at the bottom of the flash. When I have my mouse when 'onMouseOver' the links, the dhtml menu pops up, but it gets cutted off by the flash, making some of the dhtml unviewable for the users, unless ofcourse, the user maximize the browser window.... but if the problem is that max resolution on a user's screen is 800x600 (errr... don't ask..), the menu would still gets cutted off partially.

Is there a way for the dhtml menu to OVERLAP flash instead? making the dhtml menus viewable?

Appreciate any response!

/cheers!

Yes, but it might get ugly. The answer is using z-index, I found this thread which might help you out:

In this case setting z-index will not work. Since Flash is a windowed control it simply ignores it. The answer is either making the movie transparent as described in this thread, or using iframes as explained in this article.
