I'm thinking that you're going to need something like DHTML programming to achieve what you want. Check out www.dynamicdrive.com However, all of the expandable ads that I've ever seen before always overlap the content. As far as overlapping other flash objects on the page, I believe they are "layered" based on which is called from the HTML page first.
