[Solved] Printing HTML with SWF(s) not as empty containers

I've been pulling my hair out a bit lately wondering why some websites with SWF content on pages print with the SWFs rendered to the printer and some websites don't. You end up with a page with empty holes where the SWFs reside.
After digging around a bit and testing some local content, here is the trick.
wmode = "window" works, wmode = "transparent" does not.
That's really about it. I was playing around using SWFObject, various javascript embeds, etc. and it all boiled down to that one parameter value. Gah. At least now I have my SWFs printing like they should.
