    Cool

    Is there a way to make a flash movie transparent to the html background image or color?

    I just saw your reply to another user 10 pages back. Regarding the use of layers in ie4. I understand what your talking about and may investigate. Any other way of doing it that would include a netscape solution?

    In Internet Explorer 4+ (PC only) the background of the movie can be set to be transparent. This is done in the OBJECT tag in your HTML code. Set the attribute for WMODE to a value of "transparent"

    <PARAM NAME="wmode" VALUE="transparent">

    otherwise you have to set the movie background to match the colour of the site background.

    hope that helps

    Transparent backgrounds are ie only. Netscape will not support it. Thats why you dont see it done alot. Regards, Bill

    In the beginning the web was without shape and color, and the hype covered the darkness of the net. Then there was a Flash and life came to the web and vision became reality.
