For the moment, the html your using...

...
<object classid=&quot;clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot; codebase=&quot;

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0&quot;

width=&quot;60&quot; height=&quot;60&quot;>
<param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;file:///D|/Dragos/lucru/DesignInPrint/button.swf&quot;>
<param name=&quot;quality&quot; value=&quot;high&quot;>
<param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;>
<embed src=&quot;file:///D|/Dragos/lucru/DesignInPrint/button.swf&quot; width=&quot;60&quot; height=&quot;60&quot; quality=&quot;high&quot; pluginspage=&quot;

... Is linking to a .swf on your own D drive, so obviously that doesn't work on any machine.

As for transparent movies, it doesn't work on Macs unless you have OS X...

http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/wmode.htm

The following browsers currently support windowless mode:
Windows and Mac OS X
Internet Explorer 3 or higher (Windows)
Internet Explorer 5.1* and 5.2* (Macintosh)
Netscape 7.0*
Mozilla 1.0 or higher*
AOL*
CompuServe*

* Macromedia Flash Player version 6,0,65,0 (Windows) or 6,0,67,0 (Macintosh) or higher required for this feature.

Note: Mac Classic is not supported for this feature. Transparent backgrounds are also not possible in a Flash standalone projector.
Note: If windowless mode is used, performance can be affected to some degree. If fastest performance is a top priority, you may consider other design options...

Changed that but don't think that was the problem

We are talking about mac os x...but most i read somewhere that most users have mac os 9...so for them there is no chance for flash transparent movies?

To my knowledge, transparent movies never worked on Netscape (before version 7.x) and with any Mac browsers before OS X. So yes, I guess that implies that it won't work for other OSs other than X.
