No, I think that the flash menus simply doesn't work for anybody who 
uses flash, it seems to be a missunderstood description of the error.

There are dropdownmenus (css menus I guess) which should appear above 
the flash movie, but they are going under the flash movie due to a well 
known bug in macromedia flash-plugin, which may never get solved.

flash-plugin in linux doesn't support wmode transparent, and the flash 
movie is every time on top of the HTML page, and covers css layers. 
Therefor the dropdown menu disappears under trhe flash movie.

It's a pitty that macromedia (now adobe) doesn't solve the bug.

It affects simply all flash capable browsers under X11.

One more point to avoid flash movies... Well, it's a pitty, because it 
renders one of my site pretty unuseable under linux :((

Look under 'kontakt' to see the menu working. It works like a charm 
under linux, but fails with the flash movie on top. Worse: The flash 
movie covers all the text layers of the gallerys.

Kind regards
