Z-indexes on IE 6 works almost like on any other browser, but if something does not work for you, please do not forget to check (or even double check) the paramter for transparent background of the flash. Not only the z-index, and absolute positioning is needed, just add this line of code in your object tag:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
Why flash does not work correctly with Flash ExternalInterface see here:

The most stupid browser ever!!! I’m waiting for Chrome under Mac. Google and Mac – lovely combination.
As web developers we should not give any notes about the browsers. The browser developers must react on user interaction and messages and to fix the possible bad software. But the case with IE 6 shows how ‘interesting’ is to be a web developer. The problems behind us are giving an extraordinary experience. That’s why we should be grateful.
I agree with Stoimen! Who cares that IE 6 is crappy, so much users are still using it. We should start using it as well as making our sites working fine on.
Best regards!
