If you want to overlay your HTML page with a Flash movie you have to make the Flash movie transparent. First I want to shortly explain the HTML part. You have to use CSS (cascading style sheets) for that and div tags. Check the source of this page for that. The stacking order is already given, since the flash movie will always be on top of the HTML page. So you do not have to add z-index in the script. To make the flash movie transparent add this <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent> inside the <OBJECT> - </OBJECT>. Within the <EMBED> - </EMBED> tags you have to add wmode=transparent.
The limitation are the browsers. For Mac only NS7 and IE5.1/IE5.2 support this feature and only in OS10.x but not in Mac classic. So you can add this if you have a special audience with updated browsers and computers. Source Macromedia tech note
