Floating layer, control in table

I have a flash movie that is placed in a layer which will float with the page as it is scrolled.

In the js it allows the developer to specify the X and Y coords where the layer should display.

What I need...

I have a table with two rows. The top row contains my navigation, and the bottom cell I want to hold the layer. I want the verticle (Y) to not be positioned to the top of the browser, but to the top of the table cell that it is in.

How can I do this? The code is below.

Code:

<body bgcolor="#ffffff">

<div id="divStayTopLeft" style="position:absolute">

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="200" height="400" id="quotesScroller" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="quotesScroller.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="quotesScroller.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="200" height="400" name="quotesScroller" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function JSFX_FloatTopLeft()
{
var startX = 25, startY = 400;
var ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1);
var d = document;
var px = document.layers ? "" : "px";
function ml(id)
{
var el=d.getElementById?d.getElementById(id):d.all?d.all[id]:d.layers[id];
if(d.layers)el.style=el;
el.sP=function(x,y){this.style.left=x+px;this.style.top=y+px;};
el.x = startX; el.y = startY;
return el;
}
window.stayTopLeft=function()
{
var pY = ns ? pageYOffset : document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop : document.body.scrollTop;
ftlObj.y += (pY + startY - ftlObj.y)/8;
ftlObj.sP(ftlObj.x, ftlObj.y);
setTimeout("stayTopLeft()", 40);
}
ftlObj = ml("divStayTopLeft");
stayTopLeft();
}
JSFX_FloatTopLeft();
</script>

</body>
