Flash Transparancies (showing flash on top of a page)

This is a pain in peoples butts most of the time but can be a nice effect if you do it properly.

 

Code for 1st page that will redirect to another page if IE6 or above is detected. (trasparent flash files in all other browers have glitches)

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> var Netscape, MSIE, Opera, Unknown; var Win, Mac, Other; var NetscapeVer, MSIEVer, OperaVer; // detect browser Netscape = navigator.appName == "Netscape"; MSIE = navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"; Opera = navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera") > -1; Unknown = !(Netscape || MSIE || Opera); // detect platform Win = navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Win") > -1; Mac = navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mac") > -1; Other = !(Win || Mac); // now extract version numbers if(Netscape) { NetscapeVer = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion); } else if(MSIE) { n = navigator.userAgent; MSIEVer = n.substr(n.indexOf("MSIE ")+("MSIE ").length, 4); MSIEVer = parseFloat(MSIEVer); // converts it into a floatint point number if(Opera) { OperaVer = n.substr(n.indexOf("Opera ")+("Opera ").length, 4); OperaVer = parseFloat(OperaVer); } } // now do something! if(MSIE) { if(Opera) { } else if(MSIEVer >= 6) { window.location = "home-mermaid-ie.html" } } else { }

Extra PARAM tag to add to the flash file when you embed it in the page it redirect to from above.
.<param NAME="wmode" VALUE="transparent">
