This site has a vertical menu on the left border.  To the right of that is other
graphics and text in a frame.  When the mouse is over some of the menu items,
hidden text in a frame is displayed.  In Firefox, the exposed hidden text is
partially hidden behind the text/graphics in the main frame to the right of the
menu.  In IE 6.0, the hidden text appears over the text/graphics in the main
frame to the right and is fully visible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the website
2. Place mouse over the menu items in the left frame and go down the list.
3. Hidden text related to menu is partially obscured behind main frame graphics.

Actual Results:  
Hidden text related to menu is only partially visible.

Expected Results:  
All hidden text should have appeared over the main form graphics.

Firefox is set up with no special theme or any unusual settings.

the "menu" system is implemented in flash. It works for me in a recent Deer Park
(Firefox 1.5) build with Flash 7 on windows xp. They do have wmode transparent
for the outer object tag that IE sees, and don't have it for the embed, but it
looks ok to me.

What version of flash do you have? Type about:plugins in your URL bar to find
the version.

I have Flash 7.0 r19 installed

Ah, sorry. I see the problem now with the text from the left menus appearing
underneath the flash. This _is_ due to the fact they do not have wmode specified
on the embed tag. If you could contact them and point them to this bug, perhaps
they will fix it. Thanks!
