    SWF file not showing in browser

    AliTography Community Member

      Hi all,

       

      I have inserted a swf file into a webpage in dreamweaver CS5 that needs to have a transparent background.

      I have done all the necessary things in flash and set the "wmode" to "transparent" in the parameters section in DW.

      This is where the problem arises. It displays with an opaque backbround but when I change it to transparent it disappears completely.

       

      here is the offending page:

       

      http://www.makeupbydoll.com/

       

      I had the same thing working on a previous version of the site but can't seem to resolve this issue.

       

      Any assistance much appreciated!

          Looks like your swfobject embed method is not working correctly. Turn off swfobject and test again without it.

          In the <head> just rename the swfobject file so that it won't load.... easy to change.. test... change back again:

          Change this:

          <script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

          to this:

          <script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified_off.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

          you'll see I just appended "_off" to the file name, then save and test the page... quick and easy way to turn off that file... then test again.

          Best wishes,
