Flash wmode opaque working slow on Facebook

Question

When setting wmode to "opaque" (or transparent) my flash app becomes slow on Facebook. I can particularly notice it when moving the mouse around (even on a tiny area of the screen), if I don't move the mouse then the slowdown doesn't seem to happen. Maybe its because its sending all events to facebook too?

When using wmode=window then it works fine.

The reason I want to use opaque is to be able to display Facebook overlays on top of it, and so the Facebook dropdown menu doesnt get hidden by the flash object.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, there's no solution. The wmodes other than window (default) are just terribly resource intensive. I don't know much about FB apps, but perhaps you could float the player above the content in a model window using jQuery or something?
