MediaPlayback component distorts image behind it...

I'm having a strange problem. When I publish my movie and play it locally on my machine, everything looks fine. However, when I upload the swf to my site and open the page it is embedded in, the background image becomes distorted when the mediaplayback component jumps in. I know its not my publish settings because i viewed it in Flash Player locally before uploading it. You can see what I mean here:

Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue? has this happened to anyone else?

Please help...
