z-index is actually NOT important -- Flash Player doesn't respect z-index when laying Flash content on the screen. what *does* matter is your "position:" css. the Flash element needs to be set to "position: relative" or "position: absolute" and have wmode set to opaque or transparent (opaque is the best option).
