Hi,

I was informed that it is better to embed your swf files with Javascript and have done so. The only thing that is bugging me right now about this is that right before the flash file loads and plays there's a white box that appears where the swf is going to be. I set the background color in the FLA to black and it still hasn't helped this situation. Everytime I add in bgcolor = "#000000" }; to the javascript it permanently puts a black box in place of my swf. Is their anyway of correcting this issue?

<script type="text/javascript" src="ufo.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    var FO = { movie:"lilisparties3.swf", width:"580", height:"364",
    majorversion:"6", build:"40" };
    UFO.create(FO, "flash_logo");
    
</script>

I'd suggest the script we can't see is creating the place holder in the DOM too early in the whole process.

not sure I understand..

This is a 2 step process.
First, the script must modify the DOM representation of the document, and create a placeholder (the white box) and put the Flash movie reference in it.
Then, the browser has to load and launch the flash movie.

The white box you see is this little delay between the creation of the box, and the start of the flash movie.
Don't know what you could do to avoid this though. I would have tried just what you did...

setting the background colour of the container to transparent would stop it appearing.
