wmode=transparent usually costs you a heft bit of performance tradeoff... so
you should only use it if you really have to. 

wmode=opaque will also let you layer things on top of the flash movie, but
with less of a performance hit, since the browser won't have to handle the
transparency stuff.

it's still a fairly buggy thing to work with layering flash movies on
things, or under things though, and there are many quirks, so it's always
tough to get things working correctly.

I have found that if you make the wmode="transparent" you can make DHTML
elements
appear above flash.  

Although Safari seems to flicker the layer depth.  You can see it here
HYPERLINK "http://spring-green.com"http://spring-green.com/Â  the DHTML menu
goes over the flash movie.

And Mac/Firefox it causes transparencies in the SWF to darken.  Look at the
drop
shadow under the nav.  HYPERLINK

Has anyone experienced this?  Is there another work around to get SWF's toÂ
appear
under other elements?

Yes there's a little problem on Safari ( 2.0.3 ) on Tiger, with mouseover
and the background (look screencap)

hmm, it seems to work ok for me. I'm on firefox 1.5.0.2 on a mac.

is this maybe a PC only issue?

Hi List,

I have a problem with flash movies overlapping in Firefox 1.5.

On this page: HYPERLINK
"http://www.sportrelief.com/schools/index.shtml"http://www.sportrelief.com/s
chools/index.shtml when the
animation at the top left of the screen overlaps the background
movie I
can't get it to recognise mouseover events. To see it in action, try
resizing the browser to 500px.

It works for IE fine. Is there any way to fix this?

Many thanks in advance,
Ben
