Transparent Background

[cookie71es]

Hello, I have this problem:

I have a php page with a flash movie embedded inside. The flash movie object embedding is programmed to partially overlap the rest of the page in which it is invoked. My aim is that when you open the page within the browser, a flash movie starts to play over the text of the php page, and the only areas of the php page that are overlapped are the coordinates occupied by the individual objects programmed within the flash animation. So I need the background of the flash movie to be completely transparent. I reviewed one section within the macromedia oficial web site (this same site) regarding the transparent background issue, it proposes three methods for that, but they don´t seem to work for me.

I´m not a flash programmer. I was wondering whether the failure is due to:
- Facts when editing the movie that I should know.
- The flash editor version. (I'm using flash 5 test version)

Thank you for your support!

have you changed your Publishing Settings? If not, go to File - Publish Settings, or Ctrl Shift F12, and check HTML. Click on the HTML tab and in the Window Mode menu select Transparent Windowless.

Then click the Publish button in that same dialogue. That will create two files, a 'filename'.swf and 'filename'.html. Open the HTML version then cut and paste the code into your page, ensuring the .swf is in the same directory.

Hope it works.
