Intellichat And Flash

As Intellichat is a pure html and css chat window there are sometimes complications when there are flash elements embedded into a website. Just set the wmode on your flash elements to transparent to resolve this issue.

With many browsers, flash will always appear above all elements on a page. This flaw cannot be resolved with the CSS 'z-index:' property.

It is possible to set the property 'wmode' within the HTML to 'transparent' for the flash to be embedded into the page instead of hovering above the content.

As there are many ways to include flash on a page these days, we have sources the following examples from the Adobe page relating to this issue.

Editing HTML code manually

To edit an existing HTML page, add the WMODE parameters to the HTML code.

1. Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:

   <param name="wmode" value="transparent">

2. Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:

   wmode="transparent"

Using Dreamweaver

Follow the below steps, and Dreamweaver will insert the correct HTML code automatically.

1. In Dreamweaver, insert the Flash movie into an HTML page.
2. Select the Flash movie in the Design View.
3. In the Properties panel, choose Parameters.
4. For the Parameter, enter "wmode" (without quotes). For the Value, enter "transparent".
5. Save the document. The HTML page is complete.
