Css drop down over flash content

Now before anyone says ‘learn to Google’ or some other related mark, I did. I have tried everything I’ve come across int he last 2hours (including some from this forum) and nothing is working. There has got to be something I’m missing.

The following code is what I have currently after trying a million things/combinations.

I have a drop down menu:

#nav{position:absolute;right:17px;top:79px;}
#nav li{
    float:left;
    border-left: 1px solid #dbdfe2;
    height: 42px;
    padding: 0 20px;
    line-height:42px;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-weight:bold;
    position:relative;
}
/*drop down menus*/
#nav li:hover ul{display:block;}
#nav li ul{
    display:none;
    position:absolute;
    left: -1px;
    top: 42px;
    background: #fff;
    border: 1px solid #dbdfe2;
}
#nav li ul li{
    height: 32px;
    font-size: 11px;
    line-height:32px;
    font-weight:normal;
    min-width: 175px;
    float:none;
    border-left:none;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #dbdfe2;
    position:relative;
    z-index:100;
}
#nav li ul li.last{border-bottom: none;}

And it won’t go ontop of flash in only IE6/7.
Flash object:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="999" height="370" id="fision_header" align="bottom">
                        <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
                        <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
                        <param name="movie" value="flash/fision_header.swf" />
                        <param name="quality" value="high" />
                        <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
                        <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
                        
                        <embed src="flash/fision_header.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="999" height="370" name="fision_header" align="bottom" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
                    </object>

I have tried (from what I remember):
wmode transparency/opaque
div containers around flash and nav, z-index accordingly
js reset z-index
swfobject 2.x
render out flash and take generated html with setting html order bottom
simplified (basically just the object tag) flash

My next attempt is the technique ‘fist through monitor.’ I think some folks would be pissed about that though.

Thanks for any and all help,
Justin

Did you read through everything in the sticky post at the top of this very forum

ok figured it out, I guess I’m the first one to try this where the navigation and the flash object are not in the same div container… once I moved it into the same container with the wrapping divs it worked.

That was the post i was reading actually, i did not realize it was a sticky though. I also saw post dates of 2006, so thought it was old.
