If I recall correctly you can stack an iframe of your own over the whole page (behind the lightbox) that will stay on top of everything. In the last project I needed to work around this, I just set visibility:hidden for all flash/iframe objects in the page when firing a lightbox. Not very noticeable and has no effect on usability.
