As far as I remember, flash is layered separately to the rendered HTML. Ergo, it's impossible to display anything above. There are some attempts at it on various websites. One technique was to change the transparency attribute of the flash.. but that works in only some cases.

Regardless of what I have just said, it appears to work in Firefox 3.0.11 on Ubuntu.

Upgrade your flash version, it worked for me. I set required flash version to 10.0.22.87 which seems to be the one that works
