Hi guys,

I’ve been looking to find a tute on how to make transparent background in a movie clip, and so far was able to locate only info on how to achieve this effect in the HTML environment. Is it possible to achieve the same thing in a projector?

I have several clips in my movie. The opening clip is basically a message box that warns you to quit all applications before you proceed. I want this clip to have a transparent background, and I want other clips to keep their original backgrounds. How do I do this?

Thanks in advance.

I dont reallt understand your question, you can set the alpha by going [AS]MCName1.\_alpha = 10;[/AS] or something, could you explain some more?

When you install a piece of software you often times see a warning saying that you should quit all programs before you can install it. My message box looks the same. I either have to resize the clip so that its dimensions equal the message box dimensions or make the background transparent so that there is no color stripes around it.
