Can a swf have a transparent background

I want to have my movie play in a non-rectangular player and be able to see the desktop or whatever behind it. Can I do this with the swf or an exe?

yes, but only on IE5 or higher, and only on PC (no Mac).

IE5 or higher, and only on PC?

I didn´t knew abou that.

I don’t think they ever fixed that…

Rev

so how do you tell it to be transparent?

it is in the publish settings/HTML portion.

there is a box to check…

Rev

use this code to embed your Flash File into the HTML document.

check the example…


<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="800" height="180">
        <param name="movie" value="YOURswf.swf">
        <param name="quality" value="high">
		<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
		<param name="menu" value="false">
        <embed src="YOURswf.swf" menu="false" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="800" height="180"></embed></object>

```php


the code for it is 
```php
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
```php
.

just add it in the middle, and your set..

there is also a prog called “FlashJester” that will do the same thing, but for .exe …

Rev

majeye that´s really transparent!:slight_smile:

oops, the code actually worked. Heres a screenshot…

to post codes, click first on the PHP button and them type the code there.

or place your code between the PHP brackets

ex:


```php
code goes here[/PHP ]

=)
