drop-down menu items appear below flash

I've been using a drop down menu without problems until now. Whenever I scroll
over a menu heading, the sublinks that drop down appear below the Flash that's
right below it. I noticed that the same thing happens with drop down boxes
and search fields as well. They all seem to take "priority" over my submenus.
I uploaded a sample of what I am talking about at this url:

appreciated. Thanks!

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so to speak,

including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and Active X controls.

This means that each of these will poke through layers. There is not a good

cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but if you can be

confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+ (Windows only), then you can
use the Flash

wmode parameter. It doesn't work in all browsers (NN4) or platforms (Windows
only) but it's implemented in the latest netscapes:
