I just finished up a site that used SuperFish and swfObject (and Cycle
and idTabs and Accordion...), although I'm using jQuery 1.1.4 still.
You don't need to re-output the SWF to get the transparent background,
you just need to add a paramater to the swfObject setup code:
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
That should be enough to ensure that your CSS layers appear on top of
the SWF. I did run into a problem with Firefox on Mac that had to do
with an Opacity bug. That's an issue with the plugin, and not jQuery/
Superfish.
Here's a link to the Superfish plugin:

And here's a blog post about the FF Flash bug:

Oh, and if anyone is interested in a two relaunched sites using
jQuery:
