z-index issue with flash using SWFObject in IE

Hi Experts,

I am having difficulty getting the flash elements of my page to go being a static header that i have at the top of my page. I have resolved the issue using z-index in FF and Safari on my Mac but in IE 6, 7 and FF on the PC the flash appears above the header.

I need to use SWFObject to embed in order to avoid the activeX control in IE

Here is my test page URL:

http://www.randomlychallenged.com/HomeTEST.php

To see the flash you will need to login with:
Username: test
Password: aaa

I have also added my code below.

Thanks for any advise.

HEADER CODE:
 
<div style="position:fixed; top:0px; left:0px; z-index:10; width:100%; background-image:url(Images/Home/MainBG.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x;"><div style="width:100%; position:absolute; height:70px; background-image:url(Images/Home/MainBG.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x;"><div style="width:120px; height:110px; position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; z-index:50;"><a href="./Home.php" title="Home"><img src="./Images/Home/HomeLogoTEST.jpg" alt="RandomlyChallenged" width="120" height="110" border="0"  longdesc="http://www.randomlychallenged.com/Home.php" /></a></div>
