Hello,


I have a site that uses Flash just for the top header of the index page.
When viewed in IE it is correct.
When viewed in Firefox 2, the background image is there, but it seems to be
covered up.

Now I have seen other websites that don't have this problem. What is the
resolve for this?????????

Code attached -- Any help will be greatly appreciated.


<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
ID=a_srtheader WIDTH=740 HEIGHT=265>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="a_srtheader.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false>
<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent>
<EMBED src="a_srtheader.swf" loop=false quality=high
WIDTH=740 HEIGHT=265 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"

PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Vers

</EMBED>

Now you know where you need to put you big feet, right ?
Say AAAAAAAAAAAA !

Sorry, but FF is inferior to Opera. FF can't even open my Yahoo start page
properly. Nor can it open several other pages that Opera never has a problem
with. Not to mention that Opera actually introduced features FF now brags
about. Opera also has better skins. Opera is better than FF, but you hear more
about FF. That equals being overhyped.

Now, how do your feet taste? :-)

Your code answerers your question.
The OBJECT tag is used by Internet Explorer on Windows and the EMBED is used by
Netscape Macintosh and Windows), FireFox, Opera etc...
Your Embed tag has no Transparent WMODE tag while your param does.
See below:

Go to File - Publish Setting and hit the PUBLISH button. It will then generate correct
tags for all browsers automatically. All you need to do is open that newly generated
HTML and copy paste these tags to your existing document. This will assure you are not
missing anything.

Well .. seeing that little rant about Firefox vs Opera is completely
unrelated to the users post, and has nothing to do with the problem or the
solution, I think its the taste of your feet in your mouth that you should
be worried about. urami's feet are not in anyone's mouth here, as she
provided a solution for the problem and didn't ramble on with their own
opinions that were completely off topic like you did. All you've done is
made yourself look silly and for noone to pay any serious attention to what
you might have to say.
