Flash Hit Area bug in Firefox

I created an all Flash site after a long while. In fact, it was a long while since I've used Flash at all. This time around however, testing the site in Firefox brought up a problem. Some dynamic movies I created inside the SWF object did not fire their "onRelease" events. After a lot of unsuccessful code-wrangling, I came across this post titled "Hit Bug in Firefox and Flash" at snooks.ca. The common solution posted on that page was to set wmode to transparent. So I added this snippet of code to my Flash object. param wmode="transparent" Googling a bit about wmode=transparent in Firefox, it appears to have it's own share of problems, but right now my site seems to be working fine.
