Hi, it works because you used the :
<param name="WMode" value="Transparent"> wmode="transparent" You need this for elements to appear above the flash movie. -Tony gracetec wrote:
Hi rolfsf, Thanks for your response. I have re-checked all the code against a working example and the only difference appears to be the way in which the flash file is embedded. It works for this code: <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="590" height="173" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <param name="movie" value="test.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"><param name="WMode" value="Transparent"> <embed src="test.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="590" height="173"></embed> </object> But not for: <script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("slideshow.swf", "gallery", "590", "174", "6", "#000000"); so.write("flashcontent"); </script> Although I changed the code in the file: http://rican.ictirl.com/home/flashdetect.js to match it still doesn't display. Any more thoughts?
