That’s what I thought it should be transparent, but it has a white background when I open it in Dreamweaver. Because I did make it Windowless Transparent in the publish settings. I probably should say that to start off with, I don’t know all the jargon for flash yet so I will probably say things wierd, too.

Try opening ur file in your browser. Then change the body bgcolor and try it again. It should work.
