<param name="movie" value="button3.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#006633">

<style type="text/css">
<!--

-->
</style>
</head>
<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

</style>

Try it without the "<!-- -->" (should not be there).

That's because the Flash object is not transparent. You have to set
"wmode" param to the object with "transparent" value. Search the
Macromedia site for "flash movie transparent". Take a look at:

http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/tag_attributes.htm

for complete reference. Note that this might not be supported on
some platforms/plug-in versions.

In addition: dropt the EMBED tag using this construct:

<object data="button4.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
width="100" height="110">
<param name="movie" value="button4.swf">
</object>

It would break the progressive movie loading in IE but this would be
only necessary for larger movies and there are workarounds (like
plasholder/loader movie):

Why not set the colour in the movie itself?

Try it without the "<!-- -->" (should not be there).

But there's a pre-release version of (IIRC) NS3 Gold that will display
the styles as text on the page if you don't enclose it in quotes!

:-D

No, they shouldn't be there, but they certainly aren't causing the
problem.

Shortly after posting I realized that there was an ancient reason to
enclose the style in comment elements, no longer recommended to use it
though imo.
