You can prove it to yourself and the site owner by checking out http://www.edmedia.tv/player.swf - this is their player UI loaded into your browser window directly. Since there is no WMODE set explicitly it defaults to "window" and you can access the controls. There is no view loaded in this case, but this allows you to test the UI.

It is a useful trick for testing to know that you can ferret out the URL for a SWF asset and test it directly, especially when the site is built with the wrong WMODE setting.
