Hi All,

I have embedded flash into a site with the background being transparent.  
I noticed at home on my mac that it does not render as transparent, whereas  
at work (on the PC’s) it’s fine. So, I was wondering if anyone knows what does  
and does not support the transparent background. (Browsers and Platforms)

this is what I’m using for transparency:
