make an <object> invisible or moved to back?!

Hi all,
I have the following code in the html part of my asp.net page to display an
activeX control object which is like a picture viewer:
--
Response.Write("<object style='position: absolute; left=275px; top=73px;
width=725px; height=595px;' width='656px' height='475px'
classid='clsid:68CE4C35-090C-470B-B956-96B129554E64' standby='Please Wait...
'
codetype='application/x-oleobject' codebase='com/test.cab'>" & vbCrLf)
Response.Write("<param name='RecordParam4' value='" &
Session("RecordParam4") & "'>" & vbCrLf)
Response.Write("</object>" & vbCrLf)
--
When it is displayed on the page, it is always on top of everything else,
meaning i have to position everything else on the page around this object..
now is there a way i could turn the visible of this object to false, or move
it to the back so i could put a new thing, the exact same size, right on top
of this'
it is only about 5% of the time i need a new thing to replace that object,
the majority of the time i'm using that object and need it exactly how it is
now..

AdamPC@dotnet.itags.org.hotmail.comcom objects, will always be infront of the page, because there are created
in top most window. if you create two com object the z-order will work for
the two objects. how well you can hide the com objects depends on how well
behaved it is. if may support an invisible property, or support a size of
zero.

Thanks for the reply Bruce,
I have the 1 com object and the other thing i needed to put infront of it
was Windows Media Player:
<embed src='<% Response.Write(Session("movie")) %>' style="Z-INDEX: 101;
LEFT: 8px; WIDTH: 852px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 56px; HEIGHT: 550px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: white" align="middle" id="movie"></embed>
Could you provide any code that i could write behind an asp.net button
(vb.net code) which could set that first com object to invisible or reset it
s
size to zero.. and make my embeded media player visible
thanks
