[Turner, Ben (AT - Atlanta)]

Has anyone had an opportunity to take a look at the issue below? I am
still trying to figure out how to get it resolved. If anyone has any
suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Subject: [SWFObject] Movie Background Color



	Hello,
	I have a pop-up window that opens up with a 728x90 SWF and 6
links on it. The purpose of the page is for the user to see 6 different
Flash files without having to have a separate window for each one
(parent page contains "thumbnail" versions of the files). I am using
JavaScript to build an array with the values for the movies. This is my
script:
	 
	    var swf= new Array();
	    swf[0] = 'flash/swf_01.swf';
	    swf[1] = 'flash/swf_02.swf';
	    swf[2] = 'flash/swf_03.swf';
	    swf[3] = 'flash/swf_04.swf';
	    swf[4] = 'flash/swf_05.swf';
	    swf[5] = 'flash/swf_06.swf';
	    
	    function changeFlash(x) {
	     document.getElementById('FlashMovie').movie = swf[x];
	     }
	 
	Here is the SWFObject script I am using:
	 
	  <script type="text/javascript">
	   var so = new SWFObject(swf[0], "FlashMovie", "728", "90",
"7");
	   so.write("SWFContainer");
	  </script>
	 
	Here is one of the links on the page:
	    <a id="link1" href="#SWF0" onMouseUp="changeFlash(0)"
class="pageLink">
	 
	The DIV that I'm putting the SWF in doesn't have a background
color and is set to be the exact size of the Flash file. The initial
file loads fine, the issue that I'm having is that the background color
from the first SWF is carried over to all subsequent movies. For example
the initial movie has a blue background and shows fine. If the user
clicks the link to view the other SWFs the blue background color from
the first one replaces the background color in all subsequent movies.
	 
	I have tried putting a BG color in: var so = new
SWFObject(swf[0], "FlashMovie", "728", "90", "7", "086AFF");. I've tried
using: so.addParam("wmode", "transparent"); and it does not seem to
alleviate the issue. In total there are 70+ Flash movies and we are
constantly adding new ones. I don't really have the resources to go back
and change each Flash movie at this point (though if a solution isn't
found I will take that route).
	 
	If any one has any suggestions on how to dynamically change the
BG color or make it where the color does not carry over I would greatly
appreciate it. I guess there is a way that I could create a second array
of colors and pull that in, but I'd rather not go in and pull the hex
for each movie.
	 
	Thanks in advance.
