what do you use for flash and xhtml ?

thank you !

[liorean]

In xhtml, tags and attribute names are case sensitive, and the xhtml is all lowercase. Change "OBJECT" to "object" and lowercase all attributes, and it should work just fine. Embed on the other hand isn't even in the html4 specs, not to speak of the xhtml specs.

[angiras]

ok lowercase .....

thank you

I get a background color transparent for IE
but for Mozilla netscape or Opera the background is white !!!


I have tried : param name='bgcolor' value=''transparent"

!!! it becomes green

do you know how to get background transparency for other browsers ?

thank you !

[brothercake]

netscape 6 doesn't support the transparency, but netscape 7 / recent moz builds should be okay.

Check out http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/wmode.htm

btw - did you pick up on liorean's <embed> point - your page won't validate while you have that.

[angiras]

do you know where is the list of all parameters possible for a flash object ?

[angiras]

<param name='wmode' value='transparent' />

and

<embed src='fl.swf' loop='false' quality='high' wmode='transparent'

are set like macromedia recommendations for transparency !

and I don't get it in opera 7 or Mozilla 1.3

I really don't know why ....

[liorean]

Angiras, what flash plugin do you use in Moz? The 6.0 r65 should handle it. Also remember that if you have QT installed, that plugin might take over the flash rendering - which you probably don't want.

The embed tag is not allowed in either html or xhtml. It was a Netscape invention, and nowadays you only need it for nn4. Drop it if you want your code to validate.

[angiras]

I don't know what is QT, and how to remove it

the flash version I have in Mozilla is 6.0 r47
and I have nerver find in mozilla or Opera how to get new plugins and where they read it in my computer

for IE I have the last one

ok I drop at once the embed tag..

thank you again liorean :-)

QT= Apple QuickTime
