		+	=== Parameters ===
		+
		+	;window
		+	:This value provides the best performance. The browser renders the media player in its own rectangular window. This places the media player at the highest z-index, which means you will be unable to overlay any HTML elements over it. Because it is in its own rectangle, this means you will have to make sure you choose the right background colors for your media player and webpage in case there are any transparencies in the player.
		+	;opaque
		+	:This value renders the media player as a browser object. The main advantage here is that now you can overlay HTML elements on top of the media player. If done properly, your HTML overlays can appear as if they are part of the native player skin. The opaque mode still requires you to make sure you choose the right background colors for your media player and webpage in case there are any transparencies in the player.
		+	;transparent
		+	:This value offers the best flexibility but worst performance. This is exactly the same as the opaque mode, except that it allows transparencies within the player. This way you can create non-rectangular skins to wow your viewers. Be careful not to overdue it, because anything transparent can cause performance problems... especially when dealing with HD video.
