Okay, is there a way to have an external flash movie that I have iframed in from another server show up behind an overlay div? Currently when I open my overlay, the flash movie shows through it.

A: 

You need to make sure you either have the param wmode set to transparent or opaque - using the default setting (window) will place it above any other content (think: infinite z-index).

edit: if you are not able to embed the flash yourself, you may have issues - that param needs to be set. Is it something that you can embed yourself just by moving the embed code to your site?

Unfortunately, you may need to have a workaround such as hiding the iframe (`visibility:hidden` versus `display:none`, to preserve document flow) if you want to display something above it, since you don't have control over the `wmode`.

That's actually a good idea. I think I will try that, thanks!
