Yes, looking deeper it seems I am 'barking up the wrong tree', what he did differently is added the wmode=transparent:
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");'
Did you try doing that? The only other things I can suggest is seeing whether Java has an equivalent of 'wmode'. There's an interesting reference to wmode on the Flash for Linux blog:

Quote: WMODE: This goes by many descriptions: WMODE, transparency, windowless mode, "grey region where the SWF should be", and "Hey, the Javascript menus drop down behind the SWF".

So it seems wmode is what you're looking for. This site has some interesting information on the subject too.

This seems similar to what we've tried, except that they've used divs absolutly positioned within a parent div whereas ours are seperate - but I don't htink this will make any difference.

The effect we want is similar to a pop-up window, rather than replacing (or effectly covering completely) the other/original content.

Have a look at this thread. Does this help at all?
