I haven't done this myself yet, but I am planning on doing the

same thing on my site. I think that as long as you have an

object showing and not covering the entire scene, that the

background will show up no matter what color you set the

movie to. It's like when you specify the background color

in the activeX control to override the color that you set in

the actual movie. 


I'm not certain on this, but this is what I am assuming and

I would like to hear anything on the subject matter myself.


What is the deal with the lag time when posting to the list?

I sent a post out about five hours ago and it just went up...
