Transparent Back to My Flash (in SWiSH)

There's gotta be a way, right?

Anyone who's worked with SWiSH, do you know how to get a flash that has a transparent background, or is this even possible with flash?

Here's the answer to my own question for anyone keeping score. A guy named siyan posted this:

originally posted by siyan:
Heres how you make your flash files transparent:

Inside the <OBJECT> tags, add a PARAM for "wmode", Value of "Transparent"

This will make the background of your SWF animation transparent.

ALPHA BLENDING DOES WORK. eg I can have a 50% alpha blue box in my flash animation and it will alpha blend with anything underneath it in the browser.

Works great with IE, no dice with the latest Mozilla (so probably not the latest Netscape, either.) No idea if it works with Opera.

It's worth checking out, especially if you ever wanted flash over something other than a flat background. Unfortunately, if you want to use it, you have to make that choice whether you make it look cool in IE and not so cool in NS.
