Flash doesn't display in a Overlay which uses a Mask in Firefox Mac

Basically, whenever an element with opacity intersects a flash embed, it'll vanish.
So, we need to use PNGs on the mask (in Firefox mac) rather than opacity. However, since we let users specify colour and opacity themselves, we'll have to generate the 1*1 PNG as a Base64 data url.

This became less of an issue as most mac users upgrade & are on Firefox 3 now (which doesn't have the bug).
However, the bug still exists on Firefox 2 mac so it'd be nice to have it sorted for completeness. We can use the getDataURL method of canvas to generate a background, it exists in all versions of firefox 2.
