Keeping Flash movies from covering up your HTML content

Got this link from my friend Robert Thompson...

If you have a layout that uses DHTML to rearrange the content (for example using DHTML popup menus), sometimes the Flash movies will appear on top of your HTML.

There appears to be a workaround using the "Opaque Windowless" publish setting.

There is one hitch, in that if you have an overlayed SWF on top of a DHTML Layer (ie SWF being at the top) getting FOCUS on say a text field beneath cannot be done, as the swf will capture that focus request.

There is an alternative in that you swap the zIndexes when you no longer need the overlayed swf.

I also too have an example up of using DHTML & SWF to present a menu system
