Displaying Adobe Flash content
Adobe Flash content often appears above other content such as a gadget menu, when displayed in a web browser. If a dashboard developer has access to the source code of the HTML or Google gadget that displays the Adobe Flash content, the developer can add the wmode parameter to enable other content to appear above the Adobe Flash content. The wmode parameter must be in the object tag that displays the Adobe Flash content and have a value of opaque or transparent. Opaque is less processor intensive on the user’s web browser than transparent.
The following code shows an example of setting the wmode parameter to opaque for embedded Adobe Flash content:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" height="100%" id="flash" data="/iportal/testing/test.swf">
<param name="movie" value="/iportal/testing/test.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="ffffff" />
</object>
If the you do not have access to the source code where the Adobe Flash content appears, contact the web site administrator where the content appears and ask them to set the wmode parameter to transparent in the object tag displaying the Adobe Flash content.
