Layering HTML over Flash

I'm fairly new to flash. I have created a flash animation for a website and would like hide the edges with a border I have designed using .png that is transparent in the viewing area to allow the animation to be seen behind it. I have embedded the the animation in the page and used CSS to to create the layer that holds the border with a higher z-index than the layer holding the Flash animation. However the Flash animation keeps showing through on top. Is there someway I can push it down to a lower layer.

Thanks

This definitely definitely seems like it should work, but active
content, such as Flash, Java applets, QuickTime, and other plugin-based
platforms, tend to paint their content to an overlaid "layer" of the
display.

Yes, and it's called wmode. You can read about it here:
