how do i set <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> ??

[boydy79]

Hi There,

I've just downloaded your FLV Player Light, from the FlashComponents.net website, and have the video player running on my website as you describe.

Though can you please help me, on what I need to do, to set the:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />


I would like to set it to be transparent, because on my website i have DHTML drop-down menus which when rolled on hang over the video, and don't appear over the top of the video. I would like my menus to appear over the video, and i'm sure adding this line of code will solve this problem.

Can you please assist as to where and how i add this code to your source?

Look forward to your reply.

What code do you use for embedding it ?

Hi.

I'm using the same code that is supplied in your download to embed the flash into my HTML page.

i.e.
======

<script type="text/javascript" src="video_js-control.js"></script>

<div id="flashcontent">
Please note: it is recommended to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[

var so = new SWFObject("video_file.swf", "flash", "421", "270", "8", "#ffffff");
so.addVariable("xml", "video_xml-control.xml");
so.write("flashcontent");

// ]]>
</script>

======

Please advise what i need to change.

Thank You.
