hey guys, I want my flash swf to be appear above another div instead of below it. I’ve set the z-index to 1 but im not sure why it works in IE but not Firefox.

here’s my code:

.toprightcorn {  
z-index: 1;  
padding: 0px;  
position: absolute;  
width: 50px;  
height: 50px;  
left: 643px;  
top: 66px;  
right: auto;  
bottom: auto;  
}

.rightframe {  
margin:0;  
width: 259px;  
PADDING-RIGHT: 0px;  
PADDING-LEFT: 0px;  
PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px;  
PADDING-TOP: 90px;  
FLOAT: left;  
OVERFLOW: visible;  
}

\<div class=“rightframe”\>  
\<div class=“toprightcorn” id=“flashcontent3”\>  
\<script type=“text/javascript” src=“flashobject.js”\>\</script\>  
\<script type=“text/javascript”\>  
var fo = new SWFObject(“toprightpoint.swf”, “animationName”, “50”, “50”, “8”, “#002238”);  
fo.addParam(“allowScriptAccess”, “sameDomain”);  
fo.addParam(“quality”, “high”);  
fo.addParam(“scale”, “noscale”);  
fo.addParam(“loop”, “false”);  
fo.addParam(“wmode”,“transparent”);  
fo.write(“flashcontent3”);  
\</script\>  
\</div\>  
\</div\>
