Thanks for posting this, it'd definitely be useful for some users

Unfortunately some Flash animations do not display correctly with the window mode set to "transparent", because they rely on the background colour of the Flash animation (I write a "Flash Embed" application for Facebook, and had some users complaining about this). I guess the best solution is to add another parameter so you can do something like [flash width=550 height=400 transparent=true]http://....[/flash] or [flash width=550 height=400 wmode=transparent]http://....[/flash], but unfortunately I don't have time to look into this at the moment (I guess it'd be easy, though).

That would be good indeed to modify the parameters to be able to choose between transparent canvas or opaque ones. Something (like I've mentioned in an other topic) that would look like this:

[flash=400,60,0]http://....../folder/swfname.swf[/flash] (with the variable "0" after the sizes)
Would show the Flash normally, with an opaque background (the color of the Flash canvas)

and

[flash=400,60,1]http://....../folder/swfname.swf[/flash] (with the variable "1" after the sizes)
Would show the Flash with a transparent background (Flash canvas color would not show)

Thanks in advance to take a look into this... and keep up the great work DIN1031... Your the man!

You looking at it?!

btw, the Nintendo WII browser does NOT currently support WMOD=TRANSPARENT - it also chokes when you have too much embedded items, so its best to be aware of that too, and always have a BACKGROUND COLOR defined, even if you hardly expect it to be seen.

Hi DIN1031,

Is it possible for you to arrange something like I've mentioned here?

ARGH!  To bad!

It's OK... let us know when you will have time fiend! Or hey!... if someone else has the ability to achieve this and is willing to do it, I'm pretty sure that a lot of people would like this BBcode option for Flash canvas transparency.

Thanks very much in advance!

Bye!
