I've got a Flash file which calls a Javascript function to expand the div which it resides in - this allows the navigation drop down at the top of the page to expand over the below content, then retract upwards when the user mouses out, and have the text and so forth underneath to be accessible again.

The problem is that this works seamlessly in IE, but in firefox the area below the nav never seems to quite 'clear' the space. In other words if you try to interact with another flash file (say on the home page link I provided) the elements are not clickable.
They respond to mouseovers and are getting some interactivity, but do not process clicks in the top half of the flash SWF (ie the area which is previously overlapped).
Any help in working out how to fix this quirk would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rick,
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough - have you tried clicking on the top left-hand thumbnail element of the center panel?
If you hover the mouse from top to bottom of the '10 vital facts' thumbnail, you should notice that the cursor changes from the hand (clickable) to the arrow (not clickable, due to conflict with the other div).
I get this same error in firefox and safari.
Thanks Rick - It seems to work in IE which would lead me to believe that it is the JavaScript or div positioning that is causing the problem. What I can't seem to figure out is why this is occurring in Firefox and Safari and not in IE. Any additional help you'd be able to provide would be very much appreciated.

Hmmm works OK for me. Using FF 3.5.2 unless I do not understand. The other day I notice FF doing something wrong with one of my Web sites come to realize after posting here it was the FF on that computer only that was having the problem.
