Great!! that worked well... however, now my drop down menus fall "behind" the flash animation on the PC ....everything seems to work fine on the mac. Is there a trick to getting the menus to drop
down "over" the animation while using SWFObject ???
view the problem here:    http://www.visconinc.com/harvestweb02/

thanks for the help

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Weird white box - help

Thanks to Rakos,  I have fixed the weird white box problem (thanks
Rakos!!)  ...now the client has more complaints.

There is a "gray box" that  surrounds my flash animation when the
animation starts (THIS HAPPENS ONLY WITH IE ON THE PC)  once the
animation is clicked on ---the box goes away.

You can witness this behavior with your own two eyes here:
http://www.visconinc.com/harvesttest/

Can anyone help me intelligently explain this behavior to the
client?  Ideal situation, would be that there is a workaround so it
is not visible ...but it seems like it has something to do with the
way the Internet Explorer  browser works on the PC.
thank you
Liz

Yes, you are doing something wrong and setting the stage's background
color incorrectly, so the default color (white) will be taken. For the
<embed> tag you can use the bgcolor attribute (however it is missing
from your code), but for the <object> tag it should be set in a nested
<param>:

<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
