Take a look here, [http://www.ugs.com/](http://www.ugs.com/) the top menu appears to be a javascript menu system made from an unordered list, but how on earth have they got it to lay over the top of the flash animation? any help 🙂

Thanks for your reply but … hu? :huh:

I know it isn’t all flash, only the promo animation, but the menu at the top layers over the top of that flash. in my experience flash was always drawn on top of everything else, but I think I have found out how they did it, with transparent windowless flash and absolute positioned layers. thanks though 😃
