I have a Flash <object> embed that is inside (first child of) a container <div>; the container div has the following properties (essential attributes summarized):

position: absolute; width: 100px; height: 100px; overflow: hidden; z-index: 2;

There is a full-screen canvas at z-index 0. Now when I bind an event handler to the <div> I can confirm that it receives mouse events, but the <object> embed remains unresponsive.

Any ways I can troubleshoot/figure out what is wrong?

Thanks in advance.
