transparent backround/movie, aftershock?

[Guest_imported]

Hi, i used flash a long time ago and for those of you that remember there was a macromedia program called aftershock. with it you were able to edit swf files and one this that was nice is i was able to make the movie/backround transparent. this was cool for putting flash movies in a layer above an html page.. so i could make it look like a ball was bounceing acrooss the page for example. anyhow i cant seem to find aftershock. with the newer version of flash is there a way to make the movie/backround transparent? or did this cool effect die out with aftershock? thanks for any help

Yes that still does exists! Unfortunately that only works with IE on Windows (Not with Netscape, nor on all Mac browsers!), and is actually due to a bug in IE which allows the use of it, and not a feature of Aftershock or Flash!
