May I take a look at the link? If the wmode=transparent for some reason does not work in IE (I thought it did), there this is nothing we can do ... The FlashVars="transparent=true" makes sure Imagevue itself does not have any backgrounds ...

Not sure what you mean ... we have confirmed that this is a bug with latest Internet Explorer, because other browsers maintain pure transparency and can display html behind the SWF, whereas Internet Explorer wants to put a background on the SWF.

Just send me link to your gallery I can take a look. If the transparency works in other browsers (not IE), then this is just the IE bug ... If its not transparent in any browsers, then I need to see how you implemented it because there must be a flaw.

I did some further research, and I see you are manually embedding the imagevue2.swf. Why not use the SWFObject javascript as in the Imagevue examples, which handles cross-browser integration properly, including flashvars?

I checked the source code for your gallery, and you have flashvars only in the <embed> tag. I believe Internet Explorer uses the <object> tag, so you would need to add flashvars there also. See this:

This is why it would be easier to use the SWFObject JS which allows you to set parameters once, and then it applies them cross-browser.
