transparent flash movies ?

Hello – I was wondering if anyone here has been able to use flash movies with transparent backgrounds?
I have a form that calls this <code><object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”http://www.site.com/portfolio/file_download/gallery_nav.swf” width=”350” height=”35”><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.site.com/portfolio/file_download/gallery_nav.swf” /></object></code>
and I looked up how to create flash movies with transparent backgrounds right here: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14201

Editing HTML code manually
To edit an existing HTML page, add the WMODE parameters to the HTML code.

Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:<code>
<param name=“wmode” value=“transparent”>
Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:
wmode=“transparent” </code>

seems pretty easy, but I can’t figure out what I am missing – I dont even have an embed tag – it seemed to be extraneous code

can anyone help me with this ? it seems that I dont need to do anything to my flash movies, just the coding in the page for it to work.

YES – this was easy…
as you can see I stripped out all the extraneous flash coding, here’s all you do – add this <code><param name=“wmode” value=“transparent”></code> in there, and it’s transparent….<br>
<code><object type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” data=“http://www.site.com/portfolio/file_download/index_title.swf” width=“100” height=“25”><param name=“wmode” value=“transparent”><param name=“movie” value=“http://www.wearetherobots.com/portfolio/file_download/index_title.swf” /></object> </code>

Did you just answer your own question?…lol. Anyway, I believe this only works in IE. And only on the PC version of that.
