}}}

== Adobe Flash usage ==
With a embedded Flash Movie (.swf) you need to specify a wmode of "transparent" or "opaque" because the Hyves main menu will have to overlap the Flash Movie. This does not happen when wmode is set to "window". This is because Flash is always placed on top with this setting.
