## Why is this an issue?

Browsers best support the `window` mode for the `wmode` parameter, also in terms of accessibility.

As it is the default mode, it is acceptable to either not specify a `wmode` parameter altogether, or to set it explicitly to `window`.

### Noncompliant code example

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="550" height="400">
      <param name="movie" value="movie_name.swf" />
      <param name="wmode" value="direct" />                              <!-- Non-Compliant -->
    </object>

    <embed src="movie_name.swf"
           width="550"
           height="400"
           wmode="direct"                                                                 <!-- Non-Compliant -->
           type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
           pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />

### Compliant solution

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="550" height="400">
      <param name="movie" value="movie_name.swf" />
    </object>

    <embed src="movie_name.swf"
           width="550"
           height="400"
           type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
           pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />

or

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="550" height="400">
      <param name="movie" value="movie_name.swf" />
      <param name="wmode" value="window" />
    </object>

    <embed src="movie_name.swf"
           width="550"
           height="400"
           wmode="window"
