FLASH: RE: was: Netscape Plugin Problems...UPDATE

[Marie]

I think I've got it now. I really think the problem had to do with me 

choosing the wrong settings when dropping the swf into a Dreamweaver 

doc.

Now I have a different problem, however. It seems that my background 

color, a very light green, is missing from the movie when I view it 

online, although it is there when viewing inside Flash. I think I 

must be somehow missing something again in regard to publishing 

settings, but i can't figure out what it is. This is critical, as 

there is white text in the movie, which cannot be seen without the 

background color.


Would you mind doing another quick site check??

Thanks a lot.

Marie
