Flash Videos "Bleeding" above Lightbox Video

Question

Have a video in a lightbox on a page that has some other Flash content (banners, animation, etc. in SWFObject). I guess Flash has it's own window that's essentially on top of the document window (although I'm not sure I understand this in it's entirety). Tried setting wmode to transparent, and also tried several lightbox libraries (JQuery and also MooTools based, but NOT prototype yet). For now, we've resorted to temporarily opening in another tab which sucks!

Any suggestions or even knowledge that may help?

I think this is a common problem. Sometimes it can be solved using wmode, other times the solution seems more complicated. I found somebody saying:

The trick is to position a transparent IFrame directly behind your floating div. The div will then appear above embedded Flash, SVG and select boxes[.]
