nothing there (when i look at it in firefox)... so i looked at it in ie, and there it is. yep.
its transparent flash... only works in ie.
frome their source(in the object tag):
<param name=wmode value=transparent>

they are most likely loading the flash in a div layer also, so that the flash movie loads on top of the html and not inside it.
