 it is usually a problem of z-index (layer depth), AFAIK there are solutions in the web, how to solve - moving this to the Skinning experts.

A flash movie is always on top if you don't set it's Wmode.

I don't think you can set it if you add flash from with the insert flash button in FCK.

But you could add it hat way and then switch to source and edit the HTML.

Also IIRC, the media module does not offer this option.

There are some free flash modules that do, I use the one from http://www.dignuke.com

Hi Jp

I had the same issue as you I approached the issue differently. I did not embed the flash in a module, instead I imbedded it into the .ascx page.   I used JQuery flashembed, found at http://flowplayer.org/tools/flashembed.html

I uploaded the .js file into my skin, then inserted this script into the .ascx file look at the file path.

<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=SkinPath%>tools.flashembed-1.0.3.min.js"></script>

This is the link to the .js file. -http://static.flowplayer.org/js/tools/tools.flashembed-1.0.3.min.js

Then I created this ID in my skin css file because the swf file has to be wrapped in a unique container.

#FlashBanner {
     width: 730px;
     height: 125px;
}

Then in the ascx file I embeded the swf using the wmode set at opaque. Again the relative path to the flash file had to be exact. I use a flash folder in my skin file.

<div id="FlashBanner"></div>
                <script>
    // script inside the domReady method is executed after page is scriptable
    flashembed.domReady(function() {
    // wmode parameter does the trick
    flashembed("FlashBanner", {src: "<%=SkinPath%>flash/header01.swf", wmode: 'opaque'});
    });
   </script>

This solved the problem of the flash floating over the submenu's. I'm working on the last step, randomly calling up one of 17 swf files I created in the clients origional html site. Hope this help!

Have a great day! Mike Goodine
