how to put html content over flash when wmode=window?

Is this even possible?

The situation is, I don't control the embedded flash, and I have no way of knowing whether it is embedded with wmode=tranparent/opaque or wmode=window. This means in the first 2 situations I can put my html content on top, just by using z-index, but in the last situation (wmode=window) I have no control.

Does anybody know a way to overcome this problem?

I don't know what is the reason for this but I have done this, just give some solid background color to the html most outer content with absolute position and z-index and it comes over flash with wmode=window. I did that in one of my projects back in year 2010. Main issue was IE and chrome at that time.

You can't, the whole point of wmode=window is to put the plugin in an overlay window that goes on top of the main browser window - it isn't actually possible for the browser to draw on top of it.
