      i have a flash file that i gained from aol... its supposed to allow users to instant message me from my page, but that is irrelevant
      aol did a very crappy job on the edges of the flash element and therefore it does not integrate very well into my page
      to fix this i created an image with a transparent center to overlay the flash element and therefore fade the element into my page...
      but i could not get the flash element to go behind the image with "z-index"
      does anyone know how i can fix this???
      keep in mind the flash code is not mine i am only given this...

      <embed class="im" src="http://o.aolcdn.com/aim/web-aim/wimzi.swf?appKey=ki1Kvg-IkbSQmjxx&theme=pitchblack" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="190" height="275" ></embed>

      try adding wmode="opaque" or wmode="transparent" inside the embed and object tags of the flash. Also if you are using png files you will need to fix the bug in ie6 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294714
