51 posts to your name, so

51 posts to your name, so one supposes some familiarity with the forum?

You have a table based layout!

You have used many deprecated tags and attributes.

You have general ill-formed markup with incorrectly nested tags.

You have mixed html schemas with XHTML attributes, this suggests a lack of understanding of (X)HTML.

I haven't time to look further at the moment partly due to being halted at the sight of the above, I strongly suggest that you fix up the errors quickly and repost, then some kind soul Smiling will hopefully overlook the use of tables for layout and address the problems you are having; but be warned you might have to expect more grief for the use of tables for layout.

Please validate and ensure you have included a full Doctype before posting.

you need to set your wmode

you need to set your wmode to opaque (or transparent i forget which) in you flash.

so:

1. Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">

2. Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:
wmode="opaque"

just to reiterate it could also be "transparent"
