Safari and the z-index flash problem

I don't know if it's a classic safari 4 bug, but apparently many people cannot display correctly a non-flash content (div, image, etc.) over a flash animation. I tried everything: The wmode (switching from "opaque" to "transparent"), the z-index and many other div "cheats".

Did anyone know if there is a safari 4 patch/trick/script to fix this problem?

Thank you very much, regards.

I had the same issue with the strobe media player in safari. I changed the option wmode=opaque and it is working fine.

I was able to fix the exact same problem using help I found here: http://vimeo.com/forums/topic:28312

I gave the div that was wrapping the flash element a position:relative, and the object then sat nicely. I didn't do any wmodes or z-index changes.

this bug affects only a specific combination of osx, flash plugin and webkit version (so both safari and chrome are affected, in different versions)

I'm having the same issue here, with both Chrome and Safari on a PC. (Macs work fine)

In my particular case, I have a flash video inside a cross-domain iframe. No matter what z-index scheme I choose, I can't seem to make a div stay on top of the flash video.

Does anyone know where we can report this?

Please provide specific version numbers and Mac or Windows (Flash Mac plugin is slightly different than Flash Windows). Flash 9 + Safari 4 works fine with my company's website and HTML elements z-indexed over flash.
