Error when inserting flash

We are are trying to add flash media. few problems arise:
1. After inserting the flash media it is insisting on showing itself on top of PowerCMS home page
2. After inserting the flash media and clicking save, the WYSIWYG editor (edit mode) isn't showing the flash media object anymore (while the object is still 1. available in Website 2. Visible as mentioned before on top of PowerCMS home page)

In regard to the flash being inserted at the top of the flash, please try adding this line of code to the flash object:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">


I'm not able to reproduce the second issue you are having. Please let me know if your first issue is resolved, and i will continue looking into the second issue you are experiencing.

The flash is not showing itself on top of flash, it just visible on the CMS Home tab.

In any case, I added the code with no success.

1. the flash still visible above Home tab which disrupt the editing process
2. The flash object isn't visible to re-edit after first insertion

Apparently powerCMS refuse(!) to save this tag edition

The original embed code is:
<embed width="400" height="400" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://www.preton.net/images/presentation_skitz.swf" play="true" loop="false" menu="false"></embed>

I tried to add:
<embed width="400" height="400" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://www.preton.net/images/presentation_skitz.swf" wmode="transparent" play="true" loop="false" menu="false"></embed>

But PowerCMS rearrange(!) my code all the time ignoring what i try to do...

For example: see the code as it was rearranged by Power:
<embed width="400" height="400" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://www.preton.net/images/presentation_skitz.swf" play="true" loop="false" menu="false"></embed></p><p></p><p><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></p>



HELP!

Thanks
