Adding a video overlay with a transparent background

**Dirtwad** · 22 October 2010, 06:16 AM

I have added videos (flvs) with transparent backgrounds to websites made with Dreamweaver. The process is simple just add these two lines of code:

1st code: <param name="wmode" value="transparent">

2nd code: wmode="transparent"></embed>

The first code is added after this, I will call A

<param name="quality" value="high" />

And the second line is added after this B

P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" wmode="transparent"></embed>/>

The problem is, I cannot find either of the lines A or B in a Xara made site

Any suggestions?

Have you tried adding these lines to placeholder for the video?

Yes. But with no results.

When you look at the HTML code generated by Dreamweaver, is any of this in the <head> section of the document? If it is then you need to create a placeholder for the head section and in the Name (yellow tag) dialog, name the placeholder <HEAD>
