[SWFObject] SWF Object and CSS drop menus

[Geoff Stearns]

swfobject doesn't do anything special in terms of overlaying things  
over it.

if you are using wmode=transparent/opaque and it doesn't work,  
there's not really anything else you can do.

flash has always been really finicky when it comes to overlaying  
things, it just depends on the browser and what you are placing on  
top of it.
