How to set wmode="direct" in FDT?

WhiteHotLoveTiger

Sorry for such a noobish question. I'm just starting with Starling, AS3, & FDT. I've done a lot of searching, but haven't been able to find the answer to my question, though it seems like it should be simple.

I've made a new FDT web project, added the Starling SWC to the lib folder, and made a simple 'Hello World' project using the example here: http://gamua.com/starling/first-steps/

If I open it in Adobe Flash Player 14, it runs fine, but if I try it in a browser I get the error about the wrong wmode. I understand that I need to change the render mode to direct, but I'm having a very difficult time figuring out which file I'm supposed to make this change in.

I should note that I've added the extra param to the html object and embed tags, what I'm wondering about is adding "<renderMode>direct</renderMode>" to some AIR or project config file.

(though my index.html file only shows a blank screen, not even an error, but this is another problem altogether. I think)

renderMode is something that only applies to AIR. In Flash Player, you add the wmode parameter to the HTML. Setting wmode for Flash Player does the same thing as renderMode for AIR.

In addition to the object and embed tags in the HTML, if you're using a JavaScript library like SWFObject, you may also need to specify wmode in the JavaScript code too.
