Subject: Re: FLASH: transparency in Netscape

Steve, unfortunately there is not a work around. The transparency is only
available in the ActiveX plug-in, so it can only work in IE, and only on PC
from what I understand. (I don't have macs, so I can't say forsure) Disney
had the same problem last year, so they used a sniff code to redirect NS
users to another page. I've been hoping they would implement it in the NS
plugin since Flash 3. Macromedia has yet to fully explain from what I
understand too.

Hope this helps ya
Randy
