Quicktime z-index wmode: Can't get QT movie under DIV Layer

[JAB Creations]

I have tried all three wmode values and adjusting z-index to get a Quick Time movie to display underneath a divisible layer with a greater z-index. You need to use wmode parameter for Flash (which of course does not even work in IE7) for Opera and Gecko browsers to conform to such behavior. I have not even been able to get z-index or wmode to force the Quick Time movie to be 'under' the layer. Any suggestions?

Flash is an object, outside of the DOM, so it naturally sits on top of everything else on the page - and happily ignores z-index.

A possible workaround is to add:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

As Flash objects don't always play nice with transparent you might also need to add either:
style="z-index: 0;"
or encapsulate the object in a div with that style.

For x-browser compatibility you may want to add:
wmode="transparent" attribute
to
<embed> tag.
