Does anyone else ever find that 10 minutes after desperately posting on a forum they find the answer? I always do
Anyway, here's what you do.
For FF:
WMODE="transparent"
For IE6/7:
<param value="transparent" name="wmode"
...both within the <object> tags. You need BOTH lines for it to work on FF and IE.
Now all I need to do is get right of the "click to activate" but I won't bother posting, I'll probably find the answer straight away

Where you have the code for your flash object:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase=" fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/....cab#version=8,0,0,0 " width="830" height="208" id="myflash" align="middle">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="myflash.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#c39ca1" />
<embed src="myflash.swf"
quality="high"
bgcolor="#c39ca1"
width="830"
height="208"
name="myflash"
align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage=" www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer "
wmode="transparent" />
</object> - Last Edit: 17 years 2 months ago by Donna Vincent.

Hi Donna, that helped, but I still cannot see what actual file these object parameters are in. I am using a ajax header rotator, and it is a module, I see two files for it one is a .php and one is a .xml file. Neither of these have <object> anywhere in them. The .xml file does have some <param name> commands, but when I place the changes to this file nothing happens.

- Just out of curiosity, when you aplied the wmode fix in the flash config, did you have trouble with the flash not loading on firefox/mac ??? That's what I found anyway.

No idea, I don't have easy access to a Mac so for this dev I couldn't say.
The client I did it for though was trying it on Macs and didn't report a problem at the time (and trust me, if it hadn't worked they'd have seen it).
They actually opted to remove the flash header in the end because it was caning the CPU...so I can't even give a URL to try it out... - Toolbox Digital | Dribbble | Forrst

- Andy, that fix isn't necessary for Safari. Just for PCs running IE or Firefox.

- Donna, the problem i had was that the wmode part killed the monoslideshow on firefox 2.0.2 on my mac (kevin's also). it was coming down the wire so i decided to leave it out until i could explore more fully. Since then i've changed out the slimbox for litebox, so perhaps it works now. I'll check again and put it back in if it appears to all be working well together. thanks.
