I'm using a pop-up menu on my site which I am designing with dreamweaver, but I run into problems when i insert flash or other plugins in the same space where the menu pops up. If the "popped-up" menu items pass over an area with a flash or quicktime plugin, they disappear. What can I do to prevent this from happening?

I ran into a site a while ago that toggled its flash content on and ovv when the pop-up menus were loaded. This probably requires some moderate javascripting in the fwmenu.js file. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know.
