background image not shoing up - html

I am having trouble getting the image to show up in my html
<div id="header">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="/web/20120116002959oe_/http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="580" height="250">
<param name="movie" value="images/stockbridgeiron.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="images/stockbridgeiron.swf" width="580" height="250" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed>
</object>
</div>
css code
div#header {
width: 928px;
height: 250px;
background: url(images/bg-header.jpg) top left no-repeat;
text-align: right;
}

It's because the background is overwritten with this selector:
.thrColFixHdr #header
You can add !important to your background property to override it.
background: url(images/bg-header.jpg) top left no-repeat !important;

Div tag with SWF content and background image should auto stretch

Div tag with SWF content and background image should auto stretch so that the height of the background image and the div tag change accordingly to the SWF content. And they should not go behind div tags that are positioned under them, like the footer for example.
What I would like to achieve can be seen here on this website, where the SWF game loads.
I am quite a beginner in web design and was asked to achieve this, so I am sorry if this actually a stupid question and easily done, I just couldn't find any tutorials or explanations of how it is done.
this is the css of the page: (the div tag in question is #game )
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
body {
height: 100%;
background-image: url(_assets/gray_bcg.png);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-x-position: center;
background-y-position: top;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-color: #ccc;
margin: 0;
}

display:block;
width:100%;
}
#wrapper {
height:auto!important;
min-height:100%;

}

}
#headerLeft {

background-image: none;

}

<div> element is not top layer in Safari Windows

I have <div> element to show pop-up message. I already set z-index:1000 and add <iframe> but the div element still doesn't show above the live streaming video (embed plugin) in Safari browser. I used Chrome and Firefox, both of which work, but it doess't work in Safari Windows.
This is my code in a Fiddle.

Can anyone find any issues with this code?
You need to change/set your wmode to opaque.
<embed src="..." wmode="opaque"></embed>
And try setting the appropriate type for the first object.
<embed src="xxxx.avi" ...wmode="opaque" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>

As far as I can remember flash is on top of all HTML elements.
You can try to hide it when the pop up is there. Unfortunately I haven't seen a work around for that yet.
One good method is to have a place holder image that is the same size as the video and toggle them
<div class="video">
<!-- video here -->
</div>
<div class="placeholder" style="display:none;">
<img src="path/to/placeholder.jpg"
</div>
when you have the pop up opened
$(".video").css('display','none');
$(".placeholder").css('display','block');
Here are the specs of the z-index property (src: w3.org):
Each box belongs to one stacking context. Each positioned box in a
given stacking context has an integer stack level, which is its
position on the z-axis relative other stack levels within the same
stacking context.
I think that <div class="drag"> is not in the same stacking context as your flash objects.To make sure that the stacking context is correct, make the <div id="draggable"> also relative, and give it a higher z-index than the <div> that contains the flash objects.
Note: I'm not able to test Safari at the moment, so let me know if it works or not:
<div style="position:relative; z-index:1;">
... your flash objects...
</div>
<div id="draggable" style="position: relative; z-index: 2;">
<div class="drag">
<p>Drag me around!! Drag me around!!</p>
<p>Drag me around!! Drag me around!!</p>
<p>Drag me around!! Drag me around!!</p>
</div>
<iframe class="frame"></iframe>

How to put flash content over the html even if the flash is not

So, if you go to MySpace for example (http://www.myspace.com/sonidolalimpia) you see now the logo have a very interesting effect when you put your mouse over, how they did this?
As already was written, all trick not in the flash, but in the css and jQuery. They uses jQuery onMouseOver Event and simply switch the picture version of the logo with a transparent flash one.

White space on top of flash movie within table cell

I have a flash movie, height = 151px width = 228, this is placed within a table cell (
cellpadding = 0 cellspacing = 0 vertical-align = top), but when it displays within the explorer windows there is a white space about 20px above the flash movie. I want the flash movie to appear directly under the grey lines.

Could you post some of your code so we know exactly what you are doing. Based on your information I could assume that:
the title is within the table
the table containing the titles and the movies has an extra row (or more) between the title and movie which is 20 px tall
or the title is not in the table
that there is a 20 px space between your title and the table
