Falsh transparent background in DW

[kerrysmagicshirt]

GRRRRR Transparent backgrounds seem to be the bain of my life at the mo.

here's my predicament.

i'm building a web page in Dreamweaver8 and using elements created in flash in particular the menu.
i have an image as my backround that i designed in photoshop and i would like to be able to see it behind the menu buttons.

so with a nifty bit of editing my flash html document that i published i managed to get rid of the white (set a new param as mmode bla bla bla. feel free to pm me if you want to know how to do this). test that in a browser - genius no white background.
drop the HTML file into Dreamweaver and what do you know it's back - the white background is back!:confused:

HELP!!
please try and speak in simple terms when giving me some answers my head hurts!!

Hi there. It's very easy, change the param names in your dreamwaever HTML file like this and it will be Transparant for sure.

<param name=quality value=high>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="menu" value="false">

No problem, but I have warn you this only works for a few browsers. It does not work for the Mozilla firefox browser so you only half way there.

This script I found on some site using fire fox, you have to work out the details yourself but for this site it works on both fire fox and explorer so it is possible.

<script type="text/javascript">
myFlash = new FlashObject("/images/mainpage/epe_main_flash.swf", "swfid", "324", "376", 6, "#fff");
myFlash.altTxt = "Image Replacemnt";
myFlash.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
myFlash.write('mpflash');
</script>

cool - were do i insert the script? because you import the swf file not the html file?

you are being a fantastic help.
