This is the simple fix for the firefox displaying transparent flash.
When you publish the flash as transparent you get this:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,2,0" width="776" height="260">
<param name=movie value="published.swf">
<param name=wmode value=transparent>
<param name=quality value=high>
<param name="BGCOLOR" value="#CC6600">
<param name="SCALE" value="noborder">
<embed src="published.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="776" height="260" scale="noborder" bgcolor="#CC6600">
</embed>
</object>
I discovered that firefox requires 'wmode="transparent"' in the embed section of the code, like so:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,2,0" width="776" height="260">
<param name=movie value="published.swf">
<param name=wmode value=transparent>
<param name=quality value=high>
<param name="BGCOLOR" value="#CC6600">
<param name="SCALE" value="noborder">
<embed src="published.swf" [b]wmode="transparent"[/b] quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="776" height="260" scale="noborder" bgcolor="#CC6600">
</embed>
</object>
Its as simple as that!!
