Flash above menu in Firefox 3

Hi,
Sorry to open up this subject again. My menus are being hidden by flash in Firefox 3 Windows XP.
Yes I spent several hours reading the different posts...
Yes I have the latest version of the menu 5.813...
Yes I have the flash activation js...
Yes I set parameter name and wmode to transparent...
Here's the code :
<noscript>
Code:
     <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="850" height="480" align="top">
        <param name="movie" value="menus/casarttexte.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
        <embed src="menus/casarttexte.swf" width="850" height="480" align="top" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
    </object>
    </noscript><br />

Here's the page :
http://www.casart.fr/2008/frcasart.html

Works in Firefox 2 et 3 mac os, IE 6 et 7 Windows XP et Vista, but not in Firefox 3 PC.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

If you use the code found at http://www.milonic.dev/activateflash.php it will help to get the menu to sit on top of Flash in Firefox 3.

For some reason the AC_FL_RunContent() function that you are using doesn't appear to work.

HTH,
Andy

Thank you for your quick and efficient answer. :D It works in Firefox 3 Mac and PC. I do have slight quirks though. :?:
1. I have strange opacity effects within the drop down menus when the user scrolls down within the menu.
2. There is a strange bitmapping effect on the Flash file once the mouse goes over the drop down button. When I load the page, it's fine. Then as the mouse hits a pull-down button all the text on the page is pixellised somewhat and where the pull down menu covers there is a small opacity problem (about 10%).

Thanks again for your help.
