Thanks to everyone for the education, I now know a lot more about this than I did.
It looks like our issue is related to the swf being loaded in an iframe, setting the z-index (on the iframe's div and the loaded page with the swf) and wmode aren't having an impact. I never did like this setup, I'll get rid of the iframe and load the swf directly in the main page, I suspect that plus z-index and wmode will fix the problem.
