How to make flash movie (an advertising banner) ignore <param name="wmode" value="transparent">?

There are some CMS systems which insert flash movies automatically with transparent wmode option. Flash Player ignores banner's background color, makes it transparent and displays it on web page background. I can workaround it using additional layer at the bottom with a large rectangle of desired color, but I think it is inefficient and inelegant.

How to do this better?

The background rectangle is what I would've suggested as a practical answer, but it would be nice to know if there are more efficient solutions. – Ilmari Karonen Jul 22 '12 at 8:24

Without knowing what CMS system you were talking about it is hard to offer an exact fix.

Basically you'll need to find the code in the CMS system that takes care of embedding the flash movies. There you can edit the code and remove the wmode variable.

I'm pretty sure he wants to do it on the flash side. – ThiefMaster Sep 19 '12 at 21:56
