Solved it.
It turns out that a flash object is always rendered on the topmost layer of
a page regardless of the z-index order.
To be able to place the flash object underneath a popup you need to add a
param to the SWFObject :
swfObj.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
I've added this in SWFObject.java class (I'm using the SWFObject.java
attached here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-309). Just add
response.write(swfVar + ".addParam('wmode', 'opaque');");
before line
response.write(swfVar + ".write('" + id + "');");
so the flash object will become blocked by the popup dialog as expected.
I got the idea from here (check the last section):
