I replaced the "imagefader" with my own flash element (image fader was too limited).  I used jumi to run my new code in the right module position.  The new element works great and is in the right spot, but now all of my main menu drop downs are under the flash element.  I can't figure out where in the CSS I can fix this order... or maybe I messed something else up.  You can see the problem in action at http://new.ebenezerumc.org

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello, this is an issue with the flash module. You need to change the flash params from wmode "transparent" to "opaque" or else it will always show on top of HTML. When it is set to transparent it will show on top of all elements despite any z-index settings, this is a working of flash. You would need to contact the module's developer to correct this.

OK... I changed the wmode to opaque... still no luck.  Now that I've got that set to opaque, should I change a z-index somewhere?  Can I add a z-index to the flash object parameter?

Hello, this something you would need to contact the module's developer for, as this is an issue with the module. Flash does not use z-indexes, only css elements do. Looking at your code of the flash it looks like it is missing the EMBED tag for wmode:

I got it working... I was using Jumi to get the flash code in, and instead found a Joomla Flash module and it is working fine now.  Thanks for the help.
