Flash Banner is Covering Up My Drop-down Menus - Suggestions?

This is just a general question, so depending on the answer, I might need to come back for some more help. Anyway, I have created a javascipt horizontal drop-down menu at the top of my page and under that is a rotating banner created in flash. It looks good until you actually try to look at the submenus, because the banner ends up covering the drop down menus. I’ve included a picture so you can exactly what I’m talking about.

My question: does flash always “hover” above everything else on a webpage? Or do you think it could be the way that I coded the hmtl/javascript? I’m wondering if it would just be better to create the drop down menus in flash. Would that solve the problem?

I’m sure there a bunch of answers to this, but I don’t know what to begin asking because I’m pretty new at all of this. Any help would be great! Thank you!

You can try using the z-index property of CSS. If that doesn’t work, make it in flash.

I think if you use the z-index and set the wmode of the flash to transparent, it should be ok

i ran into a similar problem a few months back and what djheru said is what i did. just make the movie transparent and wmode transparent in you script and it should be fine.
