Can I make an .swf transparent?
if so, how do you do it, in the publish settings?
i know you could match backgrounds back in Flash 4 with Aftershock…

No no… only IE on Windows… not on Macs or on any other browser.
Why they even have the option I have no clue! They should get rid of it and re-release it when browsers can support it :-\
It has potential… but it’s just not supported (remind you of anything Rev?)
