Remove flash of white as an swf file loads on a web page

I am new to embedding flash on a web page. Is it possible to remove the flash of white that you see as the swf file loads prior to an animation playing on a web page?

Please see http://www.davidwilliams-bulkeley.com/dev/home-final-with-flash.html

Thank you in advance for your help.

You could also use iframes instead of a frameset, and set your links to target the iframe,

<a href="page2.html" target="myFrame">Page 2</a>

<iframe src="page1.html" name="myFrame" style="width:400px; height:300px;">
  <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

Thank you. Both solutions seemed to work.

FYI, transparent wmode 'could' slow down your Flash movie, so it's best to avoid using it if possible...

Thank you. I tried the 'transparent' mode and it seems to play okay. But I take your point. I also set the backgound to black so I will try it with only the background set to black to see if it makes any difference.

(Link below is both transparent and black background)
