How to get rid of white BG box as flash .swf loads?

[whambar]

SOmebody asked me this question the other day...how do you get rid of the white box (Go Live) Web apps create when loading the flashmovie as a plug in...in this case there's a black background so a white box is very annoying...i guess its more pronounced with a dial up connection....I'm stumped...
thanks

not sure, you could try setting the bgcolor attribute of the object and embed tags to see if that works...who knows?

SJT is correct.

embed src="flash.swf" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"

Just replace the FFFFFF with you background color of the flash file.
[edit: Stupid code tag never works! ]
