Looking for jQuery sIFR w/ transparent background support

Posted by German Rumm in javascript

Need jQuery sIFR for a project I am currently working on. Found 2: one by Gilles van den Hoven and another by Jonathan Neal. Liked the second one – documentation, plenty of options, custom callbacks and this one is based on a wonderful flash plugin by Luke Lutman.

Unfortunately both don’t support transparency nor custom background, only background color. At least I couldn’t make it work. wMode=”transparent” didn’t help, setting bgColor to empty(“none”/”transparent”) didn’t work as expected. Will have to look into .fla file, but for that I have to boot into my Windows, and I so-o-o don’t want to do it :(

P.S. sIFR3 Alpha doesn’t support transparent backgound neither.
