IE problem with links and flash

I inserted a Flash driven slideshow into my page and now some links that were working fine, aren't...in IE. They work in Opera and Firefox.

To clarify:

These are regular html links that aren't working.

The links that DO work are to websites and contain the full URL. It's the links to other pages within my site that don't work.

Anyone know how to solve this and what's causing it? I'm assuming that it's the Flash...because my other pages without that slideshow are working fine.

probably the flash object is above the links in the z-index.

I set the div that contains the flash object to a z index of 0. Same problem.

I also tried setting the z-index of the nav bar to 1000. Same problem.

The rollovers on the links work and the cursor changes to a hand. However, when I click on them nothing happens. The ones that are connected to a test website (full URL) work though.

These links work in Opera and Firefox.

IE makes the object elements topmost no matter what the z-index. To Internet Explorer the <object> elements are "windowed" elements and exist in a different plane, so the z-index is in relation to other windowed elements but are always above "windowless" elements.
It's just one more of the "charms" of IE.

try using <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> in your <object>
