For those with this problem in the future I figured it out. I added the wmode="transparent" to the embed tag to fix a bug in IE not letting HTML hover over the flash object, but this had a adverse side affect on Firefox disabling the wheel mouse scrolling. So I modified my code to only add the parameter when IE and then everything worked as expected.
