the nav is in a <div> forced to a z-index of 999 to make it sit on top of everything else - the background of the movie is set to transparent.
this is why when you browse to that address using anything except internet explorer 5.5 or above, you get a STUPID direct* to a 'whats wrong with your browser' page because the transparency isnt supported in all browsers (my main browser is moz firebird).
* i say direct and not re-direct because it doesnt even do that - idiots.

if you are going to use flash, why not use it full screen anyway (or a fixed size, like fixed width column with 100% height).
if you are going to incorporate flash why not go the whole hog?
they way they have done it is a VERY bad idea IMHO, there is no need to alienate browsers.
a combination of css, javascript and a full stretched flash movie that doesnt scale works wonderfully - you'll need to work out the javascript to force the resizes of <divs> if need be , it doesnt work properly in Opera at least (javascript will do it - get screen size, resize the <divs> using getElementById)
Code:
/*
* Code to adapt Stage size on resize = set HTML embed size parameters to 100%
*
*/
Stage.scaleMode = "noscale";
Stage.align = "LT"; // LT - Left Top [0,0]
Stage.addListener(this);
onResize = function () {
// auto adjust layout etcetera here :)
updateAfterEvent();
};
that will prevent the flash content scaling but will resize the movie to fit

Making the whole site in Flash is not an option. There are a lot of
articles, pictures, links etc. and the content is frequently updated - every day- and not just by me.
I'll take your idea on a fixed width column with 100% height for the buttons. A browser friendly solution.
Another thing is a Flash banner that has to 'unfold'. A request from an advertiser for more space. Made some progress there...
It did cost me some research in the world of <div> but it seems to work, in Explorer 5.5 and up.
This is what I came up with:
<div style="position: relative; height: 60px; width: 234px;">
<div style="position: absolute; height: 60px; width: 234px; overflow: hidden;" onMouseOver="this.style.height='120px';" onMouseOut="this.style.height='60px';">
put flash movie here width="234" height="120"
</div>
</div>
