I have a webpage with a flash movie (via SWFObject) and I am using a modal jQuery UI dialog to pop up a google map on top of the webpage in response to user input.

When viewing the site in Safari or FireFox on OS X, if I have the mouse over the part of the dialog content that is overlapping the flash movie underneath, the cursor changes from the image of the hand that google uses to indicate the map can be clicked on and dragged around to pan (hand) to the default arrow cursor.

Additionally in Safari, if you right click on the part of the dialog that overlaps the flash movie beneath you will get the flash contextual menu instead of the browser's usual menu.

Is it possible to fix either of these problems with html/css/javascript or is it something inherent to OS X/browsers/flash?
