[SWFObject] SWFObject .. part area in focus, part area out of focus

Problem:
SWFObject is out of focus when placed underneath and outside an HTMLObject.
_________________________________________________________________

Consider this scenario .. two div containers, one holding SWFObject the other holding 
HTML (in an embedded iframe) which aims to overlay the SWFObject.

Objective .. to get HTMLObject to part overlay SWFObject.

<div id="flashcontent" ></div>

<div id="htmlcontent" ><iframe src="http://www.google.com" etc. ....></iframe></div>

Stylesheet sets div positions and
div.flashcontent as z-index: -1;
div.htmlcontent as z-index: 10.

SWFObject div container has parameter - so.addParam("wmode", "opaque").

Now .. where part area of the flashcontent falls underneath the htmlcontent and also 
outside the htmlcontent (i.e. to the left or right)  the flashcontent is out of focus (i.e. right 
click does not show "About  Flash Player 9" ).

But the area of the flashcontent which is outside the y region of the htmlcontent is still 
in focus.

So net effect .. we have a SWFObject (overlaid by HTMLObject) which is part in focus 
and part out of focus!

In other words,  the htmlcontent div seems to keep in focus the entire width of the 
browser and not just the width of the htmlcontent div container.

Is this a CSS problem to crack?
