macromedia flash sitedesign : Flash\Fireworks Menu fine in IE not in Firefox

I am working on a new site with very basic Flash animation that is yet to be
completed. The same site has a menu bar with drop down selections that was
made in Fireworks. The issue I am having is that everything appears fine in
Internet Explorer but not so much in Firefox. In Firefox, the flash object
covers the pull down selections. To view this site go to the following URL:

Will changing the object tag to an embed tag make a difference. Any
suggestions on how to make this appear correctly in both IE and Firefox.

Most folks on the groups say wmode is buggy, perhaps it is. BUT I
found a script that seems to work. I posted the link below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the embed tag uses a different syntax for wmode

type this at the end of your EMBED tag:
wmode="transparent"

here's the <EMBED> part of your code

<embed src="Untitled-1.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="400"
wmode="transparent"></embed>
</OBJECT>

I'd be interested if this works for you
