Can RSS News Flash actually be 100% Transparent so that only colors from website show? If so can someone tell me step by step how to do it I have tried every setting configuration I can think of with no luck.

Also I have noticed the RSS News object covers the drop down menu of a menu bar. Is there any settings to prevent this? I am assuming there is some sort of Priority given to the Flash Object over other HTML.



Thanks in Advance Everyone has an opinion & this is just mine sorry if it offends anyone.

You need to adjust your z-index for your menu bar and/or subnavigation..

Hello,

Unfortunately RSS News Flash must always display a background color. The transparency option in the Settings tab is actually a mis-label. It sets the opacity of the color chosen, over a white background. Our developers are looking into providing full transparency in a future version.

The issue with your menu and the RSS News Flash is actually caused by the Flash Player. You can read Adobe's TechNote about this at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewCon … ;sliceId=1 along with instructions on how to change it.

This used to work at one time in IE but I think Firefox has problems with it. You could try it, no guarantees.

Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:
wmode="transparent" Jim

Hm looks like the fix doesn't work in all cases so I will continue to try to work around this other ways for now I guess.

Thanks for the help. Everyone has an opinion & this is just mine sorry if it offends anyone.
