@smercerMay 13.2004 — #Whenever I want to have a transparent image or animation I use Photoshop or it's sibling imageready.
You could proberbly hunt around for a different image editor, as they say "you get what you pay for".
You properbly do not have the money for something like photoshop but you could download a trial version (Photoshop has a steep learning curve) or you could try Gif Construction Set or Ulead GIF Animator 5 which is also shareware.
@BigjohnauthorMay 13.2004 — #The background image is a painshop pro created JPG.
It's attached using the CSS background tag.
The Flash element is created with Advanced Effect Maker, and is positioned in the DIV.
In IE, the flash element shows in a solid white box (not transparent...). In Firefox, the element shows with no background (meaning it appears as if it's scrolling over the background image, as it should).
I would remove the instances of the BGCOLOR. Also, I noticed that in your code snippet, you were missing the close ">" on the QUALITY and the WMODE - but I assume that's not how your code it???
Otherwise, I don't think I can help you - it should work. The good news is this could be confined to a specific version of IE as DUNSEL has noted because IE was one of the first browsers to support WMODE/transparent as WMODE's support is spotty across browsers anyway.

[B]Dear John,
2 things...

the Advanced Effect Maker applet created the code. I'll add the closing >, because as you know some applications ignore following statements when a > tag is missing...
I'll check back in the morning with more information!
