Hi there,
I have been fighting the whole day trying to fix a z-index problem for Google Chrome which is actually easily resolved by adding the wmode='opaque' parameter to the embed/object element.
After a long seek and destroy mission I have changed some code in the flowplayer.js file and change the lines of the flowplayer call to

var fc = {src: settings.basePath + settings.flowplayerSwf, wmode: 'opaque'};
// Create the flowplayer element on the non-processed elements.
$(selector + ':not(.flowplayer-processed)').addClass('flowplayer-processed').flowplayer(fc, config);

This opens the doors for the API to provide flashembed configuration. For now let it hard coded in my project, however this could be a nice idea for future version of the project?

What do you think?

Indeed! I wonder why it isn’t implemented yet!

Wow. That solved my problem as well. I'd definitely like to see this committed!

Actually, this doesn't fix the problem permanently. It'll fix it for a refresh, but then later loads show the z-index problem returning. Let's keep active for now.
