[SWFObject] wmode=transparent

[Dimitry Saïd Chamy]

I had problems with it too...  seemed to work just fine until I was  
at a client's windows machine and none of my flash movies where  
showing even after I got them to download the latest flash player. So  
I disabled SWFObject on all the sites.

Are you saying wmode=transparent breaks SWFObject?

Regardless of the merits, is there a workaround?

Thanks
