sidebar code help (I am idioté)

I am working with Coffee Cup theme and while I can get an .swf to play in the sidebar, I can’t find the spot to put it and have it NOT cover up part of the sidebar currently there.
I am a total hack (well…bike mechanic actually, but not as geeky as maybe I need to be).
I am either in need of some code to add, or my placement is off.
Without the movie in the sidebar I can add line breaks ( ‘<br>’ ,. right?) and have the sidebar slide down, but when I put the code in for the .swf it comes up and the movie covers part of it.

The sidebar code WITH the movie code is:

Any ideas or links to some basic code training would be greatly appreciated.
