This is how the html looks like on the index page. As you can see I have already added the

params.wmode = "transparent";

parameter but it does not work in IE6. not sure about the other browsers though.

I did not experience this problem when I used the simple <object> flash embedding provided by Adobe on any browsers whatsoever. wondering if anyone knows the solution to make it work in IE6/7 too?

Thanks for looking
