Flash movie blocking your menu or anything else

If you added an flash movie on your page and also added a drop down menu on top of it. Chances are you wont see the drop down menu because flash object hides it.

To get rid of this problem you just need to set the parameter “wmode” (Window Mode) to transparent in object properties.

e.g.
<object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000"  
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/
director/sw.cab#version=10,1,1,0"
        width="?" height="?">
        <param name="src" value="?.swf" />
        <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
        <embed src="?.swf" width="?" height="?" 
 pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/"  
wmode="transparent"></embed>
</object>


Thats it
