CS4 … I’m having growing pains I think …

I found FlashObject script easy to understand and apply … in part due to good instructions and the handy ‘Generator.’

It validated W3C too!

One problem. My background color turned to white. How do I specify a background color, or transparency?

Thanks so much for your help.
