Ok, hope someone knows if this is possible and how to go about doing it. I’ve got a flash movie that will be centered in the browser. It is only about 700 px wide and 400 heigh. Now, in my html I have tiled background. In my flash movie there are seperate boxes which display the information and so forth. I wan’t the html background to show through the movie so it fills in the areas where the boxes aren’t. Now I could put the background in the actual movie, but since the movie is centered in the browser it won’t match up with the background in the html. Can I make the flash movie backgound transparent?
Yes you can. Whats the html coding that you put into the browser that embeds the flash movie?
<object classid="…" codebase="…" width=“770” height=“400”>
<param name=“movie” value=“home.swf”>
<param name=“quality” value=“high”>
<embed src=“home.swf” quality=“high” pluginspage="…" type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” width=“770” height=“400”></embed>
</object>
Ok good.
-
Under the <param name=“quality” value=“high”> line, put <param name=“wmode” value=“transparent”>.
-
After the <embed src=“home.swf” insert wmode=“transparent”. Make sure you keep your space between each thing (e.g quality, wmode, src, etc.).
So the code should be:
<object classid="..." codebase="..." width="770" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="home.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
**<param name="wmode value="transparent>**
<embed src="home.swf" **wmode="transparent"** quality="high" pluginspage="..." type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="770" height="400"></embed>
</object>
: Use those 2 steps and you’re good to go!
thanks!
You’re welcome. :beam:
