What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Flash animation on the page
2. Modal window open over flash animation

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Flash will not be hidden behind the modal window. Instead it shown over it 
hiding portions, if not all, of the modal.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Tested on Chrome 2 and Firefox.

has your flash movie the wmode="transparent" ?

Is there any workaround besides wmode=transparent so that nyromodal would work properly 
independent of this flash parameter?

You may also hide every flash movie on your page using a callback.
What's the problem with wmode=transparent?

Hiding flash movies is a nice idea. Thanks! I'm using a content management system and 
some content contributors on my site directly pastes flash object/embed tags on their 
content. I can't tell them to add wmode=transparent as it might be a complex task for 
some of them, not to mention it might break the site layout if they've incorrectly done 
this.

Ok.
An other solution might be to add the wmode=transparent with a regex expression when
the content is saved.
Enjoy using this plugin ;)

I'm looking for a javascript only solution since I'm not yet prepared to work on 
extending/modifying the CMS. Hiding flash movies is a great idea. Thanks a lot! I 
didn't expect an answer this fast :)
