Does anyone know how to make transparent backgrounds in Flash? What I mean by that is that when you place the flash file on an HTML page, the page’s background shows through instead of the assigned background colour in Flash.

I tried to work with the PUBLISH settings and made sure that WINDOW MODE is transparent. It still doesn’t seem to work! ☹
