Gadzooks, this is strange -- after clearing my cache repeatedly, your solution now DOES work for Mac/IE. Yippie! Only, not on my local machine. How strange is that? I can see the effect correctly over the net, but, even correcting the code to make it local, it doesn't fly. I hate IE!

Just for giggles, though, I tried it with a much, much smaller swf -- 200px. Again, we lose the transparency bg for mac/ie. Your code is terrific, though -- the more I look at it, the more elegant it is. Simple and clean!

Nice code, though; very nice. I'll try it out on a PC as soon as I can.

FYI, your re-write is no different -- the opacity effect is lost on Mac/IE; it does not work in Mac/Ie. Look carefully at both browser displays -- you'll notice that the opacity overlay is lost in Mac/ie. Same problem I've been having. Anyway, it's not a Flash issue -- it's a Mac/Ie-CSS bug.

Thanks. Yeah, that was a lot of code, but it was there for a reason -- to get this thing compliant with Win/IE (the biggest offender, by far). In fact, without the absolute positioning, it just doesn't fly there. I go back and worth on negative margins/"auto auto." What I don't like about...

Allow me to clarify -- if you look at the code, you'll see that the layout and menu items (to the left and right) are defined in CSS. The Flash movie floats over the DIV that contains them.

Nope, you experienceed the problem, too! The photo gallery IS a Flash movie (SWF). In your Safari version, you'll notice a translucent effect over the menu items; in the IE version, this effect is deactivated, and only becomes deactivated when Flash is present.

It's the eternal thing, isn't it? Anyway, here's the deal: I'm working on a design that uses low-alpha PNGs for Safari, Mac/IE, and, well, pretty much everyone else, and the CSS opacity filter for Win/IE. Nevermind the goofy Flash movie, it's a placeholder...
