wmode in swfobject2.1 blocks window.open in IE7

Hi there

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Adding params.wmode = "transparent"; or "opaque" when using the 
swfobject 2.1
2. Having a flash controlled window.open function

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: The new window opens when I click the button in flash.
Actual: I get a warning in IE7 that a popup window has been blocked.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
swfobject 2.1 - windows vista 32 bit and windows xp tested.

Please provide any additional information below.
I need to have a flash swf that has the transperent wmode (so I can have a 
html div infront), and from that swf I need to be able to call a 
javascript function that opens a new window without being blocked.
If I remove the wmode parameter, the popup opens fine in IE7, firefox3 and 
google crome, but then I can not see the div. As soon as I reenter the 
wmode parameter, the popup is blocked in IE7.

With best regards
Kristian Mørck
