Hi there--

I have a number of small swf elements that I've inserted into an html table. The table is transparent so that the background image in the <body> shows through.

The problem that I'm running into is that the swf elements - the stage of each swf element - is not transparent, so that there's an obvious white block cutting into the <body> background image.

I've tried including <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> and wmode="transparent" in the <embed> tag, but the white block of each swf element is still there, i.e. not transparent.

Am I missing something? The code for one of the elements is below...

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="167" height="27">
<param name="movie" value="common_approaches_darkest.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="common_approaches_darkest.swf" width="167" height="27" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed>
</object>

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi

I'm looking around the same problem. You should solve yours by using png or gif files that are supposed to keep their transparence since AS 2.0 but the tests I did in that direction are note ok:

I used a slideshow found at http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2005/04/image_slideshow.html
I found that works good with jpg en SWF files but when I attemp to insert any png or gif files in the image.xml they do not show ! Works good with any jpg or swf files. I tried to read the produced Slideshow.swf with both FIREFOX 1.0.7 / FLASHPLAYER 7 / LINUX and IE6 / FLASHPLAYER 8 / WIN98.

Does some body can help me understanding what's going on ?
Is AS 2.0/FLASHPLAYER 8 realy supporting transparent PNG format or not ?
