Topic: transparent background swfobject

I've struggled to make a flash object for the header of my new site I've started then I managed to pull it off in IE but not in FF. I've used the <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> in the code. Here is my code for the object and below is the link to my site. (PS I know the flash isn't good but just trying to get the transparency working first)

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="425" height="282">
                <param name="movie" value="flash.swf" />
                <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
                <!--[if !IE]>-->
                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flash.swf" width="425" height="282">
                <!--<![endif]-->
                    <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
                        <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />                    </a>
                <!--[if !IE]>-->
                </object>
                <!--<![endif]-->
            </object>

Re: transparent background swfobject

Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:

wmode="transparent"

IE pulls from PARAMS , Firefox pulls from EMBED attributes.

Re: transparent background swfobject

Thanks for the reply. I had read that and tried it however I don't really know how to add the embed tag to what I have there now. It adds another flash. Can you tell me how to do this? I used the swfobject generator I think to get the code I have. (I say, I think now because I tried so many new things in testing)

Thanks

OMG, how does this look in your browsers. I didn't get that embed in there but played more with the generator and I think it looks ok. Would you look at it for me in your browsers? Thanks allot smile

It looks fine in Firefox, Safari and Opera on a Mac.
