I was curious to know if there is a workaround for layering a \<div\> container on top of a Flash object?

This is my current code:

\<div style=“position: absolute; z-index: 5; left: 100px;”\>  
\<OBJECT classid=“clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000” codebase=“[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0)” WIDTH=“200” HEIGHT=“200” id=“sq” ALIGN=""\>  
\<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=“sq.swf”\>  
\<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high\>  
\<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF\>  
\<EMBED src=“sq.swf” quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=“200” HEIGHT=“200” NAME=“sq” ALIGN="" TYPE=“application/x-shockwave-flash” PLUGINSPAGE=“[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)”\>\</EMBED\>  
\</OBJECT\>  
\</div\>

\<div style=“position: absolute; z-index: 10; border: 1px solid black; left: 50px;”\>I am a div container\</div\>
