White box behind flash when in html

Question

Hi. I've created a flash with a black background and inserted
in my html also with a black background. The problem is that when I
click through the pages, for a half second or so, the area behind
the flash is white (and stands out like a sore thumb). Any thoughts
to why this might be happening and what to do to fix it? Thanks for
your help.

I see a bgcolor attribute inside a <table> tag, but I
don't see that
attribute inside the <object> and <embed> tags.
It needs to be your
JavaScript, too.
e.g.
AC_FL_RunContent(
'width','900',
'height','530',
'src','home',
'quality','high',
'movie','home'
'bgcolor','#000000' <== here
); //end AC code
Note, I omitted two very long parameters from that snippit.
The
important part is to note that the params come in pairs, and
are mirrored in
the <object> and <embed> tags:
<object [lots of attributes here] >
<param name="movie" value="home.swf" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="home.swf" [params ...] bgcolor="#000000" />
