Title: Video embed HTML in AIR, transparent bug?

---

Hi.

I made a chromeless AIR app in Flash Builder that contains an mx:HTML element that loads a local html file with a ustream embed. When I set 'transparent' to true to begin spicing up the design, the embed wouldn't load anymore!

Over the past 5 hours I've tested dozens of settings in combination with each other, Google'd myself to death and finally discovered that the problem is - wait for it - the freaking embed code.

Type A
<object width="640" height="200">
	<param name="flashvars" value="autoplay=true&brand=embed&cid=1524"/>
	<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
	<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
	<param name="movie" value="http://www.ustream.tv/flash/live/1/1524" />
	<embed flashvars="autoplay=true&brand=embed&cid=1524" width="640" height="200" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://www.ustream.tv/flash/live/1/1524?v3=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
</object>
Type B
<object width="640" height="200" data="http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.292.swf">
	<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
	<param name="flashvars" value="autoplay=true&brand=embed&cid=1524">
</object>

Type A is my own code that has always worked on the web. Type B is a stripped down version of the messy code ustream.tv uses themselves to embed. When transparent is false both players load, when it's set to true only type B loads. That's ridiculous. I guess I should be happy I finally found a way to fix my application, but I'm not because apparently AIR thinks my code is bad. What exactly is wrong with my embed code in the eyes of AIR?
