flash satay is bad news - it breaks your params sometimes (in older
safari versions) and JAWS will ignore your flash content.
you should use something like FlashObject instead*.
or SWFObject, etc. etc.

You can also try the alternative web standards solution, that does not
require an embed tag at all to work with firefox and other non-ie
browsers:
<object data="movie.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
codebase="http://www.yourdomain.com";
width="620"
height="350">
<param name="movie" value="movie.swf" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<p>Alternative content if flash is not present</p>
</object>
There's an example on my home page: www.neo-archaic.net
I've been using this a lot lately, as it also creates a lot more
lightweight
code.

NEVERMIND - looks like we just needed to also add wmode to
the embed tags as well... looks like our developer has it
working now.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Again with the wmode
I know this has been asked and answered a kagillion times,
but I can't
seem to get a definitive answer in my searches:
The whole DHTML layer, browser, and flash object wmode
thing - we can
get our DHTML layer to show over the top of our flash piece (which
contains some solid background images with animations) in IE using
wmode=transparent and Flash on layer1, but not Firefox, Netscape or
Opera - I KNEW (or at least I thought I knew) this had been
a problem
already and that there hadn't been a workaround, but then I saw
this
article:
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=E5141
It says, "It's not uncommon to hear developers complaining
that their
DHTML menus, when triggered, have dropped behind the Flash
movie below
them. It's also not uncommon to hear, "that's just how they work."
Before Flash Player 6, that was true in many browsers. But
nowadays,
it's become urban legend.... With Flash Player 6, Macromedia
introduced
windowless mode for Netscape and Mac OS X...."
So can we do it or not? And if so how? Right now we have
to do some
browser detection and then render out either the Flash or the
image.
