Flash object z-index

[rollOrDie]

I have a navigation list that needs to appear above a flash animation, but it doesnt seem to be working!

 

Here is the code I have for it,

 

<div id="headInner">
      <div id="headFlash">
        <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    data="flash/bgHeadInner.swf" 
    width="850" height="100">
          <param name="movie" 
    value="flash/bgHeadInner.swf" />
        </object>
      </div>
      <ul id="nav">
        <li><a href="../contact.php">contact</a></li>
        <li><a href="../portfolio.php">portfolio</a></li>
        <li><a href="../service.htm">services</a></li>
        <li><a href="../about.htm">about</a></li>
        <li><a href="../index.php">home</a></li>
      </ul>
      
      <br class="clear" />
    </div>

 

#nav {
    width:420px;
    position:absolute;
    bottom:0;
    right:5px;
    z-index:2;}
        
#nav li {
    display:inline;}
    
#nav a {
    width:70px;
    font-weight:bold;
    float:right;
    font-size:80%;
    margin-left:2px;
    padding:0 5px;
    color:#2597EB;
    text-decoration:none;
    background:url(../image/bgNavLi.png) no-repeat 0 100%;}

#nav a:hover, #nav a:active {
    background:url(../image/bgNavLiHover.png) no-repeat 0 100%;}
    

#headInner {
    width:850px;
    height:100px;
    margin:0 auto;
    text-align:left;
    background:url(../image/bgHeadInner.jpg) no-repeat 100% 0;
    position:relative;}

#headFlash {
    width:100%;
    height:100px;
    position:absolute;
    z-index:1;}

 

Does anyone know why the flash animation is still appearing above the navigation? In IE it seems to show the very bottom of the nav, but thats it!

 

I should also point out that the page looks right in Dreamweaver, but just not in any browsers!

 

Any help would be great! thanks.

I might be wrong, but I think that Flash can't be z-index'd over.

I think I tried in the past, and wasn't able to figure out a way to do it myself.

I think setting wmode to transparent for flash object will work

This is what you need to do
