the same thing a while back and I got it to work fine. What I did find however
is that not all the cross browser (supposedly) compliant js dropdowns worked
cross browser. As Geoff said it probably isn’t a problem with the swfobject
but more with the js code.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

site ( <A href="http://www.ellesco.co.uk/">http://www.ellesco.co.uk</A> ) it
does exactly what you want. Feel free to rip it out and use it. The drop down
is done using bullet lists aswell so it is search engine friendly. Can’t quite
remember where I got it from but it is a well known drop down solution which I
have got working over flash.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
