Some fly-over JavaScript or pure CSS menus may appear under a Flash animation in IE. The Flash object seems to completely ignore the z-order CSS property.
However, the fix is trivial. After a bit of web-crawling, I’ve found this page on Adobe’s KB:
The background of a Flash movie can be set to transparent. This allows the background color or image of the HTML page that contains the Flash movie to show through and allows the layering of Flash content with DHTML content.
To enable transparence on a Flash object, all you need is to add the parameter wmode="transparent" on the Flash element. Done.
