sIFR 3.0 and sWmode

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

I think you just need to add:

wmode: 'transparent'

in the object you send into sIFR.replace()

Answer 3

The expressions will not be interpreted all the same way. E.g. in Chrome 10 wmode: 'transparent' will cause a black background behind the replaced text, while wmode: 'opaque' works like it should. Strange!
