I have a flash game on a web site. I want to put a html element in front of it that uses some transparent gifs for one irregular border.
The flash object has to be included using wmode 'window' because of performance issues with the game in the other wmodes like 'opaque'. So I can't put a html element over the flash object directly using z-index.
But I can put an iframe on top of the flash object. If I define the background of the iframe as transparent I can still see the flash movie in the background where there is no other non-transparent element on the page loaded in the iframe.
Problem is, (transparent) images also are only visible when there is a non-transparent element behind them. Even the non-transparent parts of the image are invisible when put directly into the iframe.
Any idea how I could solve this problem?
