[SWFObject] Strange Problem in Firefox

[Geoff Stearns]

wmode=transparent usually costs you a heft bit of performance  
tradeoff... so you should only use it if you really have to.

wmode=opaque will also let you layer things on top of the flash  
movie, but with less of a performance hit, since the browser won't  
have to handle the transparency stuff.

it's still a fairly buggy thing to work with layering flash movies on  
things, or under things though, and there are many quirks, so it's  
always tough to get things working correctly.
