In the documentation of fusioncharts you recommend to use a combination of the tags embed and object. This combination works in most cases but does not allow a validation as xhtml. I found a W3C recommendation (details at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay) which gave me the following solution: ------ <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/static/charts/Pie3D.swf" width="800" height="400"> <param name="FlashVars" value="&dataXML=[%put XML here%]" /> <param name="movie" value="/static/charts/Pie3D.swf" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> </object> ----- I also added the param 'wmode' which allows for easier interaction with layers (like javascript-powered menus). I have not seen any problems with FF, IE7/IE8 or Opera 9.x at this time. Maybe other users will like this too Wolfgang

Check also the following link on the precise meaning of wmode: http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=e5141 After reading this I changed the wmode from transparent to opaque in my newer applications (less load on the cpu)

I'm not happy with this feature either, mostly because there is no indication, that some labels have been dropped. Are there any recommendations how to inform the viewer, that sometimes he does not see all the labels? Wolfgang
