276923 - Mouse over the flash animation brings up an alt tag from a different div tag (Layer confusion?)

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

[abyss]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I was building a flash based introduction to my website and while testing it
(http://www.abyss.ws/temp/) accidently came across this bug.

You have to wait until the flash loads(because it is transparent at the start of
the animation), and then just move the mouse pointer over the flash animation
and the text "top of page" will appear.

The top of page link is on a different DIV tag and should not appear.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the website
2.Wait for the page to load (must have flash installed)
3.move your mouse over any part of the flash animation (not the petrescue
advertisement)

Actual Results:  
"top of page" alt tag appears where it is not supposed to.(it is not supposed to
appear at all)

Expected Results:  
Shown no alt tag for the flash 

If you cannot find the page at that URL it means I have moved it to
http://www.abyss.ws/ (the main site)

I have OE6+SP2, NS7.1, Opera7.54 installed, could this affect it?

The tag itself that has "top of page"
in an internal anchore. I think that because the flash is layered over the
internal achore FF is thinking it is an image.
