Flash and transparent PNGs in IE6&7

[analogKid]

Hello everyone,

1)I am building this website that contains tons of Flash stuff (client's request...) and I am facing this problem with MS Internet Explorer 6&7: Both IE 6&7 won't render the flash content unless you click on the annoying yellow info bar that appears on the top of the page and even after that the flash contents' boundaries are somehow visible (and they shouldn't be) and only become invisible if you click once on them. If you reload the page the problem comes back. I've tried many scripts and hacks that've come across the web in order to fool IE but none of them worked... Any ideas???

2) Also , transparency doesn't work in IE6 (for some bizarre reason) in one of the transparent PNGs I'm using on this website.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer #1: Try this script:

Answer #2: Try setting the export option in your graphics program to PNG 32 and then import into Flash.

None of them worked...
#1:The active content page has a link missing (contains the script you're supposed to use).
#2: My PNG is used within HTML, not flash. I tried exporting it to PNG32 and it didn't work either...I tried all kinds of other scripts and none of them work...
If you have IE6 have a look and tell me what you think : www.altm.gr

IE6 doesn't support transparent pngs. i haven't been able to find a workaround either. Flash CS3 exports an active x script to prevent those stupid boxes from happening.

[a.g.r.c]

You should only be getting the active x control pop up, when you are viewing the content from the local machine.

If thats not the case, try googling "swfobject" for embedding your flash movies.

Its great :d
