Need to overlay portion of flash cell with .png links

Hi,

I'm running into issues trying to layout a page that contains both html links using .png images and a .swf file that I would also like to have linked to another page.

To see what I mean, I have a test page here
http://www.the-dream-release.com/test_page.php

What I would like to be able to do is to merge the two sides of this big table into something that would appear to have the wheel fitting within the curves of the 4 link buttons on the left..

I am thinking the only way would be to overlay the links(with transparent background) over the wheel (the .swf) unless there is a way to do a single .swf that could have 5 separate links in it on a webpage.

Hope this all makes sense.

Here is the html from the page... I've eliminated all the php and other stuff that was not relevant to the question.

<table align="center" width="100%" height="450">
    <tr>
    <td align="center" valign="top" height="177">
<table align="center" width="750" height="300" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#008000">
  <tr>
    <td>
   <a href="#.php"><img src="images/100button.png" width="361" height="96"></a>
   <a href="#.php"><img src="images/500button.png" width="255" height="91"></a>
   <a href="#.php"><img src="images/1000button.png" width="254" height="93"></a>
   <a href="#.php"><img src="images/3000button.png" width="349" height="91"></a>
    </td>
    <td>
<a href="#.php">

<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="450" HEIGHT="403" id="images/Mobius Loop Bonus Wheel 11132011.swf" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="images/Mobius Loop Bonus Wheel 11132011.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#333399> <EMBED src="images/Mobius Loop Bonus Wheel 11132011.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#333399 WIDTH="450" HEIGHT="403" NAME="images/Mobius Loop Bonus Wheel 11132011.swf" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED> </OBJECT>

</a>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

if they are just images, you can try to do a float. It'll be a pain in the ass, but thats the easiest way of doing it without editing the flash file.

OK, I didn't get a resolution to this post, but think I have found a way around it for now, so I am going to mark it as solved.

Thanks anyway...
