Flash appearing above absolutely positioned elements

I recently had an issue with some flash movies appearing above all content pneumonia the page. I tried giving absolutely positioned elements a very high zindex, bit it did not help art all. Search in Google for similar problem revealed that flash can be played in several modes.

By default all movies are played in window mode which allowes them to perform the best but such oddities as flash always on top will be happening.

Fixing my issue was rather easy. I just needed to add a wmode=opaque to the flash object. Job done.

Snapping in Flash

Just spoted one useful technique. If you want one object to snap to other objects side, first of all enable object snapping from under View menu. Then hold a border of the object you are going to drag, drag it and it will snap to the side of another object.
