[SWFObject] wmode transparent problem and more

[Geoff Stearns]

well, swfobject doesn't do anything special when it comes to setting  
wmode... it just sets it and then it's up to the browser + player to  
display it.

any display issues you are having are related to that, and can't  
really be fixed by the code.

Those lines might be *in* your flash movie, so just makes sure your  
background goes off the edge, and ther's no extra art hanging around  
that might show up.

as for the IE7 stuff, did you reinstall the flash player after you  
installed ie7? sometimes you have to run the uninstaller an then  
reinstall the plugin in order for it to work right.
