New Chrome update kills wmode=transparent

Question

The newest version of chrome seems to have killed my transparent backgrounds on my SWF. On a website, I use flash to have a transparent video on top of the elements. However, the background is now black under the newest versions of Chrome.

The question has been asked a few time, but didn't get any answers.

This is my code:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="300" height="280" id="vanessa" name="vanessa">
   <param name="movie" value="vanessa.swf" />
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
   <embed id="vanessa"
          name="vanessa"
          src="vanessa.swf"
          width="300"
          height="280"
          wmode="transparent"
   />
</object>

And a live preview can be seen on the homepage of this website: http://www.consomachat.com/

Answer 1

I used TryTryAgain's answer, and it turns out the part that fixed it for me is adding type to the initial object tag.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="...">
</object>

Answer 2

Taken from: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=2ca277b12bc29e35&hl=en In reference to my comments above...

I found a solution: this will work with IE,FF,Safari & Chrome! And it shows altervative content.

Step 1) incl. SWFobject to your head:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

Get the latest version here: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/downloads/list

Step 2) incl. the following code into your body

<object data="yourfile.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300"     height="280">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">
    <param name="quality" value="best">
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
    <embed src="" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="280"></embed>
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
    <param name="movie" value="yourfile.swf" />

        <!--[if !IE]>-->
        <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="yourfile.swf" width="300" height="280">
        <!--<![endif]-->
        <p>alternative content</p>
        <!--[if !IE]>-->
        </object>
        <!--<![endif]-->
</object>

To clarify: What seems to be the most important is to include wmode="transparent to the <embed src

<embed src="" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="280"></embed>
