<P>What am I missing? After following this thread for a while, I see a flash
author trying to jigger a css dropdown menu to work cross-browser on top of a
flash file. Am I dumb(rhetorical- please don't answer)? - why don't you
just create the menu - much more elegantly (imho), within the flash file? Is
there a design restraint that I'm not seeing? The menu can even be xml
driven if it will change often.</P></FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial
