In Internet Explorer, when there is a tiled background image and the "wmode"
parameter of in an EMBED tag is set to "transparent", the tiled background
bleeds-through where in Firefox, it does not.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to web-site http://www.prustinteractive.com
Actual Results:  
A web-site is shown with a transparent Flash movie that does not show the tiled
background image.

Expected Results:  
The background image should show through the transparent area of the Flash movie.

I tried this with and without the BGCOLOR attributes set.

The wmode Tag is only on the Object Tag and not on the embed tag (that means
invalid bug report)

Whoops, my bad; the OBJECT tag, right. Sorry I didn't find the duplicate on this
one.
