sIFR 3.0 and sWmode

Previous versions of sIFR allowed users to enter "sWmode: 'transparent'" to avoid the common problem of Flash objects being overlayed on regular HTML objects on screen, no matter the z-index of either elements.

How do I replicate this behavior in sIFR 3.0?

Solution

  • Indeed, you can use

    wmode: 'transparent'

    or

    wmode: 'opaque'

    But also

    transparent: true

    or

    opaque: true

    Whatever floats your boat :)

    Do note that browsers usually have issues with transparent Flash movies, so usually specifying a background color is the better option.
