How do I force the Active SLide Show to the background - ie "wmode", "transparent" in properties?

Thanks

I don't know what you want to do. The transparent property is not of much use because the slideshow will fill the whole flash.

Patrick:

If I create Flash text from within Dreamweaver, I can go into the Parameters option in the Properties window and set a Parameter of "wmode" and a value of "transparent". For example, :
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

This parameter will force it to a lower layer so that other objects, like a flyout menu will be above the slide show and not below it.

Thanks

Your suggestions didn't work. My email explained that your app does not provide an option in "Properties" for inserting parameters (ie wmode). Since your app only provides the swf file and not an fla, the other option that Macromedia suggests will not work either.

Fortunately there is an answer. I found it on pvii support (www.projectseven.com/support/answers.asp?id=127).
They suggest to use "opaque" as a value for wmode instead of “transparent” due to resource issues. The key is a manual insertion of code in 2 places (I was only doing in one place).

Add the "wmode" parameter on both the "object" and the "embed" tag:

A) Inside the "object tag", add this line:
param name="wmode" value="opaque"

B) On the "embed" tag, add this attribute:
wmode="opaque"

Worked like a charm. You may want to add the parameters option in future releases.

Ciao
Greg

Hi Greg,

yes I was refering to the manual code insertion in the MM solution doc.

So Opaque is better? never really knew the difference.

We will definately add this as option in future updates.
