I used SWFOBJECT 2.0 from google code database. I know that is one of the most popular embedding solutions. I used the dynamic method which was recommended so you can have alternate content. The flash file on there is still a work in process.

My problem is i use CSS dropdown menus (i believe its the suckerfish dropdowns) they have a Z-Index of 100 to be above an ajax table on the products page. When i embed the flash the menus go behind the flash file so you cant select them. If anybody has any ideas let me know.

The website is [www.hybridlifts.com/new/new](http://www.hybridlifts.com/new/new) that is where the flash is. Username is test1 password test1.

CODE for what was put in HEAD:

```php
  <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript"> 
  swfobject.embedSWF("slideshow.swf", "mycontent", "730", "250", "9.0.0","expressInstall.swf");
  </script> 

```

CODE for what was put in BODY: (the div for content is in a table)

```php
 
    <td valign="top">
        <div id="mycontent">
         <p>Alternative content</p>
        </div>
    </td>

```
