Transparent Background with .swf-file

Is it possible in flash4 to make a transparent background in my flash movie (.swf-file)? So that i can show the movie on a HTML-background.
I know it's possible for an animated GIF.

Of course, whatever BGCOLOR you set for the flash ani will still show up. If you use a transparent windowless display (WMODE="TRANSPARENT") it should clear that up.

If that doesn't work for you, there is no other option in Flash unless you export as an animated .gif.

Excuse me ,but it works in IE.

<object ID="SWFLASH"
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash/cabs/swflash.cab"
STYLE="POSITION: absolute; HEIGHT:100%;WIDTH:100%;TOP:5;LEFT:5;VISIBILITY:VISIBLE; ZINDEX:1"
width="200" height="200">
<param name="movie" value="movie.swf">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="true">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</OBJECT>

Oh, hey, you're right.

I neglected to mention that WMODE is also an IE parameter.

it was surprise for me about Netscape and bg_transparency. :-)
I think this is not impossible :-).
