Flash object obstructing CSS drop menu Blackhead

I hate Flash!

That said, it has its good uses. The one (and only) purpose I use it for is
video clips on webpages.

When combined with a CSS style drop menus however, a problem can be that
the z-index gets screwed up which makes the Flash object appear in front of
the drop menu, adversily affecting accessibility.

This can be solved by adding the following code in the case of a typical
object embedding block:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="..." ... wmode="transparent" />
The first line will do the trick on IE and the second will do the trick on
Mozilla based browsers as well as Opera on Windows, and I presume on OSX.

However, on current Mozilla based browsers on all Linux platforms I've
tested on, the Flash object still shows over drop menus.

Anyone knows a fix to this, if there is any?
