I’ve used the following code to make a flash movie transparent on a page:

```auto

<param NAME="wmode" Value="Transparent">

```

This works, but only for **some** flash files.

If I’m using a flash movie that has duplicated MCs in it, it won’t work. You can’t see anything at all.

Here’s an example of what I mean:  
[http://www.rightsys.com/temp/flash\_test/](http://www.rightsys.com/temp/flash_test/)

There are two copies of the same flash file.  
The top movie has the transparent code applied to it, while the bottom one doesn’t.

**Why doesn’t the top movie display??** :puzzled:
