Well maybe not but it works heh.

Due to IE sucking.. Here is what I did.

Make a .js file say foo.js

document.write("<div style=\"z-index:1; background:transparent; position:relative; top:-100px; left:0;\">");
document.write("<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" id=\"scroller\" align=\"left\"><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\">");
document.write("<param name=\"movie\" value=\"/includes/flash/foo.swf\" /><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\" /><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" /><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#000000\" />");
document.write("<embed src=\"/includes/flash/foo.swf\" quality=\"high\" bgcolor=\"#000000\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" name=\"scroller\" wmode=\"transparent\" align=\"left\" allowScriptAccess=\"sameDomain\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" /></object>");
document.write("</div>");

and in your HTML place

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

and you have a nice transparent background having flash object that works in FF, IE etc.. Style the outputted div to position as required etc etc.. In my case I needed it to line up correctly yet allow hovers that would appear over the text. I would put a screenie but I would get fired heh. But there you have it. One sexy line of include code in your html and a sep js file to control your flash object. Adjust the parameters as required. The pain in the butt is that you need both the <object> tag and <embed> to cater to all the browsers but at least this way keeps your HTML source lean and mean.

swfobject - http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
Is quite popular.

But im weary of using javascript to call the flash file, so i use

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="path/to//flash.swf" width="288" height="128">
<param name="movie" value="path/to/flash.swf" />
<img src="noflash.gif" width="288" height="128" alt="you have no flash." />
</object>

Well I was too but that is how "I had to do it" this time. It could easily be converted into regular HTML which is the beauty of it. and it knocked that background out flat. Worked like a champ. And it has error trapping i.e. downloading if needed, and you could fairly easily implement a graphic to display if flash is not available.

On one site I worked on I used a image with an id, then replaced this with the appropriate flash object on page load. In page code was just one js include.
