<!-- Please not the change here, as it will help understand z-index layering in IE and FF. The change is on line 7 above: <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> and the additonal code in the embed tag: WMODE="transparent". Basically these 2 bits of code make the flash transparent, and allows layers to float above it using z-index in this case. -->
