Does anyone know how to get a youtube video or any flash content for that matter to run behind other page elements.

PROBLEM: I have a scrolling page but some elements are in a fixed position, Such as menus. So when i scroll the page everything scrolls behind the menu except for the flv. that comes on top of the menu.
I have also tried putting the "z-index: 2;" attribute into styles of the object and the embed tags.

Help is appreciated.

as I recall, the item you want to use a "z-index" on must have some positioning set, either relative or absolute ... Or that's what I can recall at least ...

R_T is right, I've been coding the css for my site for about 2 days straight now because there's like a billion layers. postion:absolute is the only one that works with z-index for all browsers.

Make sure the flash movie is embedded with the wmode set correctly. If i remember right, it needs to be transparent, but theres not many options to choose from. See http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_15523 for info on it...
