Beel: Actually, I’m not much of a programmer, or web designer. I’ve only been poking around in WordPress for a short while. To be honest, I wing it most of the time and I browse boards like this when I hit a snag. When this code worked for me, I was so happy that it worked, I didn’t even stop to think about xhtml valid. Thank you for correcting that for me.
Viper007Bond: I don’t know who made the clock referenced above or the one on my blog (in the example below). Like most people, I just found it on the web. Also, I think you’re probably right about the extra parameter tags. I just combined them into the first tag and it still works.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/wpblog/wp-content/flash/anaclock.swf" width="175" height="175" wmode="transparent">
</object>
This is the code that worked for me. Instead of using the bgcolor parameter, try the wmode parameter. for example:
<object width="100" height="100">
<param name="movie" value="clock">
<embed src="http://www.boneless.nl/files/clock.swf" width="100" height="100" wmode="transparent">
</embed>
</object>
