Surefire way to get html ontop of flash content?

Question

I've been struggling to get some absolutely positioned overlays to show above an flv movie(using flowplayer) in the firefox browser(works in safari)

I have the overlays div placed underneath the video html "wrapper" and have tried using a high z-index on the overlays but to no avail. Is there anything i may be doing wrong? Or another trick i could try?

edit: The video is using wmmode > transparent

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Try setting the Flash movie's wmode to transparent. That's worked for me in the past.

Answer 2

Try using wmode="opaque" if transparent is not working as you like. Also, make sure you are using the param wmode and not wmmode as you have written in your question.
