How to place embedded video player so that it displays under pop out menu?

I have big element at the top of the webpage that sides down with jQuery when a button is clicked. However, if the first post on the blog is a flash开发者_如何学运维 video, it shows up on top of the menu. Z-index doesn't help in this instance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

when you embed the flash set the parameter "wmode=transparent"

$('embed').attr('wmode', 'transparent')
