For example, a dropdown menu going “behind” a flash movie, or staying on top of a lightbox layover.
Try This #1
Add this to the Flash embed code:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Try This #2
Make sure the element that is supposed to be on top has positioning (fixed, relative, or absolute) and a z-index value higher than the Flash object.
Thanks i was wondering how i would get flash to be behind. Very helpful.

this code not working in ie7
The code doesn’t work for me I’ve tried it in all the browsers I could think of except IE 9 because I am using windows xp still but it doesn’t work on firefox opera chrome or safari, and i treid it with IE8
Thank you. I changed the position to relative and set the z-index values and it resolved this issue!
Jared you are a genious. Something so simple. I tried many different solutions, e.g. wmode, etc and it didn’t work. But your solution by adding position to relative worked.. Thanks again.
I attempted this, sadly the flash videos from YouTube still float above my header bar. Ive even given the header an absurd z-index with out any change. :(
It won;t work and spent whole week researching for IE. In transparent your background will disappear unless the background is the same as the movie. Try this it worked for me
see a demo here: http://www.vrnet.co.ke/atbltd
Cheers have fun !
This worked for me better than the blogs solution. The main values to change are the values of wmode and menu to opaque and false, respectively. +1 to you sir for this workaround without the hassle of adding more lines to the css.
I am having issue with youtube and chrome.. I have a header fixed at the top, so that the content below scrolls behind it, but then when the youtube player is scrolled underneath the header the header background image re-positions itself and adds spacing. But this only happens when i use the background position of fixed.
any ideas how to prevent this
cheers
I tried all the possible ways I am not getting the solution. The drop down menu is getting hidden behind the flash object in chrome.

ah, someone already posted that… suppose I should have read a while longer.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Thanks man. This worked great!!
Thank You….changing the wmode param value to transparent worked for me
Another solution:
<EMBED src="/FlashAnimation.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wMode="Transparent">
