jquery can you fadeIn a video

Question

I have a flv file inside the vid.html which is working fine, but is there any way to have the video itself to fadeIn/fadeOut?

<div id="fadeit">
    <div class="video"></div>
</div>

this does not work;

$('.video').hide().fadeIn().load('vid.html');

wrapping it in a div and fading the div does not work either;

$('#fadeit').hide().fadeIn(1400);

Answer 1

You cannot style flash stuff. You even cannot put eg a menu above a flash object.

(One of the reasons why flash must die)

Answer 2

no wmode or wmode transparent: FF, Chrome and Safari

wmode opaque, FF, Chrome, Safari and IE8 (only have ie8 to test)

Both fade flash and div overlay.
