[Solved] Overlapping a Swf

I'd try adding the following parameters to the flash bit:

Add the following to the Embed tag:
wmode="transparent"

and the next bit to the object tag:

I should have been more specific -

the problem is not w/ the transparency -

That works fine, I can visually SEE them w/ a transparent swf, but cannot click them.

When I change the swfs mode to opaique, i cant see them which is how i know they are underneath it.

If you don't set wmode to transparent or opaque (which MM sz works better for this), the flash will be a windowed object. That is, it is not a part of the browser, but is in its own window lying above the browser.

I have set the wmode

but this still doesn't let me click the links...

you can look at the site here

also, in case you are wondering, If i move the navLinks down giving them a 30px top margin, they work fine - they just are in the wrong place---

#header{ background-image:url(../assets/headerBG.jpg); background-color:#000; margin:0; z-index:1; } .navLinks{ z-index:50; text-align:right; color:#660000; font-weight:bolder; margin:-20px 0 0 0px; padding: 0 0 10px 3em; }

Your negative margin sucks the nav up under the flash object. Z-index will reverse the topology, but it doesn't apply to non-positioned elements. Do this, and all is well:

.navLinks {
  position: relative;
  z-index:2;
  ...
  }
