Hello WSG,
I first have something to share and as well I have a question.
Firstly I have been franticly book marking and today my professor found the
ultimate bookmark. Some may have already come across it but thought I'd show
just in case.
Go here and say WOW.

I came across this the other day also . Since flash was colliding with
my use of sweet titles.
I was advised to set wmode to transparent, I works I am not begruding
that but is there
any logic to this. Surley wmode would just allow you to see through the
flash object if set
to transparent.

I haven't seen a diva put in here place like that since Julia Childs told
Emeril his chicken was scrawny.
For the record, here's my ufo script
script type=text/javascript
var FO = { movie:/images/home-flash-standin.png, width:710,
height:250, majorversion:6, wmode:transparent,
From memory i think that objects are displayed above everything else.
Setting the wmode to transparent might work but if you have clickable
widgets in the flash movie they will interfere with the dhtml?
If it is anything in an object does this mean images as well? or is it
just plug in content?
