I was given a QT file whose bg-color matches that of the page it’s
used on (it’s embedded). Upon completion the movie has an auto
redirect which works fine but as it transitions to the next page the
movie bg shows as black for just a second which negates the whole
point of having the movie/page bg colors match.
I’ve tried using CSS to add the bg-color to the div that contains the
movie as well as the and tags but it’s not helping.
Click once on your movie, and open the Item / Extended dialog. Make sure you have the Object or Embed tab selected (not sure what it’s called from memory) and then click New. In the sub-dialog, enter the following Name / Value pair:
bgcolor
#ffcc99
(where you put your actual desired color hex value in there instead of that color I just made up).
This will add a parameter to the Object, and an attribute to the Embed, all in one step.

Thanks Walter. I’m not using FW but what I did was add the wmode to
both tags and it seems to have solved the problem so far. I’ll try
your suggestion, perhaps it’s a better solution.
