Display Windowless Flash on Firefox

Most people said that firefox doesn’t support windowless flash using “< param name=wmode value=transparent>”, but Firefox can do it of cause :)

First of all, you have to modify < object > tags. Firefox does not read param tags, but embed tag. So, you have to add new attribute to embed tag like this,

If you use FlashVars attribute, you should also add parameters to embed tags like this,

    Hi, I found out your blog via actionscript.org,
    pardon me for the stupid question but does the stuff still works on IE?

    Thanks

    although firefox is able to display transparent flash, but that transparent flash blocks all links and buttons behind the invisible transparent flash layer, and that’s very very bad ;[

    Have you tried putting a wmode=transparent flash in firefox that requires interactivity with the mouse? It bugs out because of scrolling errors.

    I don’t understand your problem.
    In firefox, if you made transparent flash layer, you can just click area of the flash layer;you can’t click “below” the layer. My top menu is also transparent flashm, so if I let some link below the menu(e.g. title area), I can’t click that :)

    True, but in Firefox if you want to click a transparent part of that flash because there is a link behind it, you would still be clicking the flash instead of the html link.
