Flash sits on top of everything, despite the z-index. There is an IE fix
(setting a parameter to transparent) or there's this (but it doesn't
work in Opera IIRC):
http://actionscript-toolbox.com/layerswap.php

Alternatively a js function on the menu mouseover to hide the flash
layer (or replace it with a static gif/jpg) is a solution we have used,
which is also Mac friendly.
