Why is this swf's background black?
Hi all, i embedded a swf into a page recently. I got it outsourced as i dont know my flash :( but the guy sent it to me like this..
Code:
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<center>
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
id="Winning_small"
width="156" height="98"
>
<param name="movie" value="Winning_small.swf">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain">
<embed
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
name="Winning_small"
width="156" height="98"
src="Winning_small.swf"
bgcolor="#000000"
quality="high"
wmode="transparent"
seamlesstabbing="false"
allowscriptaccess="samedomain"
>
<noembed>
</noembed>
</embed>
</object>
</center>
</body>
</html>
..which didnt look great. so i used swfobject and now i have this:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.embedSWF("Winning_small.swf", "logo", "156", "100", "9.0.0");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Header -->
<div id="header">
<div class="shell">
<!-- Logo -->
<div id='logo'>
<a href="http://www.winninghealthsolutions.co.uk" title="Gyms in Southampton - Winning Health Solutions"><img src="/css/images/gym-southampton-logo.jpg" height="100" width="156" alt="gym in southampton - Winning Health Solutions gym Southampton" /></a>
</div>
<!-- End Logo -->
however, the logo was then black in the background. which was really annoying, cause i'd asked for a transparent background and now i had a black one which didnt match the gradient of the header of the page.
so i went back to the logo designer and i asked, he didnt know how to make the background transparent with this new code i've used. So, i asked him to make a new one with the gradient in the background. he did, and there are still black bits to the side of the logo..
so i thought best to come to a knowledgeable place and ask - how do i set the background for this embedded swf as transparent??
