Dim the lights script - jQuery

Another useful for script for somebody!
This makes the most of flash's WMODE and the jQuery library to create a sexy "turning the lights off" effect.
When the "WMODE" of a flash object is set to "window" (or maybe "opaque") the flash object will sit above every other element on a page. Sometimes this is annoying... but sometimes we can use it to our advantage!
The demo for the script is here
Sorry for the weird video... its the only .flv i could find to test with!
