I'm curious about this too. I have run into a couple of instances
where positioned content (such as a modal dialog) has had Flash
content in the background show through, and have found/been told/read
on the Internet that setting the Flash object's wmode to "opaque" or
"transparent" would keep that from happening. But if that will make
the content inaccessible, what should we do?
Can we switch the wmode to "opaque" when the dialog is displayed, and
then reset it to "window" when the dialog is dismissed?
