No - flash always takes the top layer - what wmode="Transparent" does is drops the background color of the flash movie so it is transparent.
The ONLY physical way you can get flash to appear below something is ... find another way. You can get creative wtih layers and CSS and JS with positioning and move the flash movie on and off the stage - but you can't have things appear above flash in both browsers. As for the scenario you are talking about -YOU can take a snap shot of the Flash movie - embed that behind the iframe or layer - when the iframe or layer is supposed to pop up - set teh flash movie's position off stage - replace it with teh "snap" shot of the flash movie and it will appear as if you have done it. then when iframe or layer disappears - you reset the falsh movie back to it's original position. hope that helps Ben Doom wrote: >So, essentially, in IE 5+ you can specify that the flash is always on the >bottom? > >Hmm.
