You should try to add the wmode parameter nested to the object tag (""), but also the wmode property to the embedded tag ("") Works perfectly on IE 8, Firefox 3, Opera 9, Safari 4, Chrome 2, when adding a div over the flash movie (i tryed with a youtube embedded movie and a ajax dynamic hover menu). Don't forget, thou, to set your css's z-index property. Shame on me i didn't tested it on other browser versions, but I guess I'm dealing with 90% of internet surfers in this case, anyway. Good luck to you all. Hey, guys.

I finally found the bug. If I declare the div containing the flash object position:absolute the flash always goes on top of the HTML and ignores my z-index. I switched from using an absolutely positioned layout to a float layout and bingo, everything suddenly works. I’ve been mucking around with this for hours and having big headaches.
