I've built a website, and the header and menu are Flash. The problem is that my menu is overlapping my header, and my header is no longer clickable since it's being overlapped. There's is also what appears to be an "a href" border around the menu that is causing the overlap. The border is only noticeable if you click one of the menu buttons, or anywhere within the area that overlaps all the way up to my header. How do I get rid of this border from the menu?

Why do you need absolute positions and negative margins there? I'd recommend you to read http://www.tyssendesign.com.au/articles/css/absolute-positioning-pitfalls/

Well, I removed the absolute positioning, and repositioned everything, and that wasn't of any help for my problem.

How do I get rid of the ~600px border that shows up with you click within any area around the flash menu? It's the dotted-line border that's visible when you click a link, but it's visible not only when a menu button is clicked, but even if you click anywhere within the 500px-600px around the menu.

This happens in Firefox and not IE.

Edit: I figured out the problem. Changing the document size in Flash to be more proportionate to the area of the movie size I want. Ex) Having a menu size of 500px by 40px, and a movie document size of 800 by 400 of course overlaps the other elements on the page, so changing the document size to something close to the menu size fixes the overlapping. Fairly simple problem now that I know, but I'm new to Flash & learning it on my own.
