Hi

I have a .swf file that is working on PC (Netscape, Firefox, IE). However it does not display correctly on MacOS10 (Safari, Netscape, or Firefox).

The problem: I have several masks. some of the masking does not appear at all on the Mac. Additionally,I have a gradient background below on the bottom layer that is not appaering at all, nor is my Flash background appearing, and thereby the rest of objects showing through to the DIV beneath.

Now, I need to set the following in the OBJECT tag so that my DHTML menu will appear above the Flash ...

Code:
 <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
 <embed src="" quality="high" pluginspage="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"[/URL] type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="655" height="330" wmode="transparent" >

Changing the wmode to opaque does not help. and these parameters need to be there for my menu to show up.

Has anyone had this problem? Is there a publish setting or something else that I need to do to avoid this problem?

Thanks

RR
 
Addendum -

I just checked the .swf on its own, outside of the web page OBJECT code, and the problem strats there, there is something inherent in the way the movie was put together and/or published that is causing the problem.

Any suggestions?
