"as for the wmode=transparent stuff, it should work just
fine with
that setting turned on, just make sure that there isn't
anything over
the buttons you are trying to click on..."
The first frame of my movie is completely blank with the
exception of your code. Any ideas?
Ok, I was just trying it locally - not in IIS in wwwroot
so that explains not being redirected back. I'll try it
on a server.
I can change the x and y of my movie since it is MUCH
larger than most people's resolution's are set.
