[SWFObject] wmode=transparent

[swfobject at blazingimages.com]

I'm using wmode as both transparent and opaque on windows 2K and xp 
machines with FlashObject and SWF Object without any problem in 
multiple browsers. I did make the mistake of using so.addVariable 
instead of addParam for wmode which has it do nothing, but doesn't 
break it as far as I know.
