Flash video is on top of drop down menus

Drop down menus are hidden behind the embedded video. I am using JW Player 4.6. The remedy for this is creating an object parameter 'wmode' and setting it to 'transparent'. To accomplish this, I added a form object to the profile that allows the user to select between valid 'wmode' settings. The code it used to do this is below.

jw_player_4.x.inc:

$form['layout']['param_wmode'] = array(
    '#title' => t('WMODE'),
    '#type' => 'select',
    '#options' => array('window' => t('window'), 'opaque' => t('opaque'), 'transparent' => t('transparent')),
    '#default_value' => $config['param_wmode']  ? $config['param_wmode'] : false,
    '#description' => t('WMODE configuration'),
  );
