i'm far from a CSS programmer. I found a drop down menu template and I can't get it to work over a .swf Please help!

Set the SWF to Wmode:transparent and this problem should go away.

where does one do that? thanks!

Well, I would do it when saving it as an SWF from the original FLA file. However, you can do it in the code:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="410" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.webmaster-talk.com/images/multimedia.swf">
<param name=quality value=high><param name="LOOP" value="false">
<param name=wmode value=transparent>
<embed src="http://www.webmaster-talk.com/images/multimedia.swf" width="410" height="350" loop="false" quality=high wmode=transparent pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>

I would highly recommend you NOT use that nasty <embed> code though, it can cause some IE users fits because of IE's updated security they may not even see the flash until they 'activate' the active content. There are many other methods - see the stickies at the top of the forum.

thank you so much for your help! I didn't see any problem in IE using the bolded statements you have there. See for yourself, i've updated the link

You may not, but other people with their security settings unmodified and SP2 installed will likely get the 'click to activate'.
