Being a plug-in, Flash tends to get bumped in front of everything else
irrespective of CSS z-index. Try something like this:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/path/to/flash.swf"
width="700" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="/path/to/flash.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

Also, A List Apart (alistapart.com) have a few useful articles on
embedding Flash movies that have helped me get around past
frustrations!

Hope that helps,
