Topic: Making embed SV transparent

So for the past two days i have lived on this forum attempting to come up with a solution. with moderate amounts of luck. :rolleyes:
so here is my issue.
I have SV embeded into a website (not yet online...) and i am trying to make it transparent. When i 'load' the index.html file, it appears transparent, however when i 'load' my page SV appears with a grey background.
...which leads me to believe that there is a colour indicator in either teh viewer or swfobject file... am i right?? am i miles off??

oh. and HTML confuses the hell out of me... so please speak slowly :D
thanks to anyone who can help!! :P

Re: Making embed SV transparent

To change the background color of the gallery, check Q18 on the FAQ.: http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simp … r/faq.html

To make your gallery transparent, add this line under the line that contains the word swfobject, in the HTML code.

fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");

Re: Making embed SV transparent

Thanks, that is exactly, what is was also looking for.

But using this option causes another problem. The ability of scrolling with the mouse through the gallery got lost. Is there another option to reactivate this again ?!

Thanks and Greets
