Javascript over flash

[jsimpson]

I had previously been under the impression that it was impossible to have javascript display properly over flash. One example is this sites search button, and the adobe banners. The search buttons had to be moved below the banner to work correctly.

I read the setting the 'wmode' to 'transparent' allows this to work correctly. Is this supported by all browsers or are there issues? By setting the wmode to transparent will all forms of overlay appear correctly above flash? Thanks in advance!

I probably am not the right person to answer any of the HTML related questions, but I thought that I'd chime in...

The wmode/transparent combo will solve most of the problem you mentioned on most of the PC browsers... But I know that Flash performs very poorly on some browsers especially on Mac's when it is set to that wmode/transparent combo... So, you've got to be very careful and test well if you are to use that method...
