White Background Problem

[splish]

Hello,
No doubt this question has been raised before....apologies,
but I also haven't seen a satisfactory explanation on the web yet.

Can I prevent the flash object from displaying a white background
just prior to loading ?

Splish.

Thanks Shane,
you set me on the right track...
For what it's worth the color attribute had to be added to the actual
flash parameter not the object itself.
ie. <param name="bgcolor" value="#AAAAAA">

but thanks heaps anyway Shane.

I think you're saying the right thing, but using the wrong terminology.
There is no Flash parameter. The parameter you refer to is one of many of
the object tag. I didn't mean you should actually add an attribute to the
tag itself. Maybe I wasn't clear.

There should be an <object> tag and <embed> tag in your HTML and you must
add the bgcolor attribute to both. Yes, the syntax is as you described, and
what you did is added a parameter (or attribute) to the tag. Make sure you
add to both tags for proper viewing in Netscape and IE.
