wmode="transparent" PROBLEM!

[sineadhartley]

Hi there
hope one of you can help ...... i have a html file with a flash swf file embedded in it and i need to make the swf file transparent. So I used the variable "wmode=transparent" like this

<embed src="Master.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="100%" height="100%" etc etc..>

Now, this works fine for firefox and IE on a Mac but it doesn't show up as transparent when viewing it on a PC using IE 6.0!! Does anyone know how to rectify the situation??
thanks for any help!

Hey, I think I have the answer. The Wmode value should be in your "param" tag into the object before the embed tag, like this:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,79,0"
id="supermenu" width="XXX" height="XX">
<param name="movie" value="XXXswf">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#00CCFF">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <<<<LOOK AT THIS
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
width="1002" height="92"
name="supermenu" src="supermenu.swf"
bgcolor="#00CCFF" quality="high"
swLiveConnect="true" allowScriptAccess="samedomain"
></embed>
</object>
