for the comment on Aug 25 11, try it inside a function. the params worked for me inside the function but did not when I did it outside the function. doesn’t seem to work on older browser versions of IE.

function init() {
embedPlayer();
}

$(init);

Try this:

var flashvars = {},
params = {},
attributes = {};

swfobject.embedSWF(“flash/banner.swf”, “flashcontent”, “1054″, “453″, “9.0.0″, null, null, null, {wmode:’transparent’});

Wow, I am having issues…

My setup:

var flashvars = {},
params = {wmode:’transparent’},
attributes = {};

swfobject.embedSWF(“flash/banner.swf”, “flashcontent”, “1054″, “453″, “9.0.0″, flashvars, params, attributes);

…//here is the Div:

Works fine as desired…but cannot get transparency to work…

Thanks for any clues you could lend…cheers.

Thank you man! The solution worked like a charm.
Really needed this as I’m using an old method for embedding swfs called “flash satay” (used adobe’s “object only” and embed stuff too, but these are so useless and buggy…)?
And I have problems with… yes… IE browser, the active x stuff are constantly popping out and this frustrates me and my visitors.

Thanks! FYI it will not work if you leave the flashvars and attributes variables off.

Thanks for the info Tal. I guess you just have to be careful that you only add ‘transparent’ to the movies that actually need it. Unless anyone knows of another way to enable the alpha channel on an embedded flash movies.

actually wmode=transparent is not recomended at all , it causes performance issues.
“Flash Player 10.1 hardware rendering is automatically enabled on supported devices, and it’s not necessary to add the wmode=gpu embed parameter to enable it. However, when working with Flash Player 10.1, the wmode=opaque or wmode=transparent embed parameters will disable hardware rendering, causing the software to render the graphics.”
