David,

Interesting, I want to try this to see if I can get my css menu drop downs to overlay a flash gallery embedded in an iframe. Where and how is this code inserted on the page?

You can put HTML items over Flash by using  
  
This will punch a hole in the Flash movie giving the appearance of  
Flash movie being behind a HTML item - when its just punching a hole  
in the Flash top layer.

This won’t work, but not because David’s code is wrong, but because  
you can’t overlap an iframe (just as you can’t overlap a regular frame).

If you redesign your page without the iframe, you can add the  
wmode:transparent key/value pair in the Flash object by selecting your  
Flash movie, choosing Item / Extended from the main menu, and clicking  
on the Embed tab of the resulting dialog. Click New, enter wmode in  
the Name field, transparent in the Value field, and Okay out of the  
stack of dialogs.
