You need "wmode" to enable a SWF to be transparent. It's not a CSS thing, it's a flash embedding thing. Check the Documentation here: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation and search for "wmode". Essentially, you need a "param" element of wmode equal to "transparent".
Also, look here at Adobe's site about wmode transparency: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14201 and find the section entitled "Editing HTML code manually". Word of caution: wmode has been known to be fairly buggy and sometimes causes issues with ExternalInterface and other keyboard/mouse event handling. Proceed at your own risk. --Kyle -------------------------------------------------- From: "cperg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 8:09 AM To: "SWFObject" <[email protected]> Subject: SWFObject and transparency > > We are changing our site to a CMS.
