Layers over objects using z-index not working in IE

I'm having a problem placing layers over object tags using z-index.

This seems only to be an IE problem.

I've found workarounds if the object is a flash object, but mine is just an embeded web page; those workarounds don't seem to work.

My object tag looks like this:

Any ideas?

An added side note is placing an object ontop another object seems to work, but one thing I'm trying to do is to place a black semi-transparent div over the whole screen. I don't think I would be able to get something semi-transparent if it was an object, would I?

z-index in IE is a little buggy as it can completely ignore the property (Ive never quite worked out exactly what the problem with z-index is), though I've always managed to work around this problem.

I have previously managed to get a transparent box over the screen working in both IE and firefox.

Taken from one of my websites that this is done on:
