Trouble with transparent background in Flash 8

[FlashRasta]

Im having trouble making my stage or background transparent.

I've selected "transparent windowless" in the publish settings and I've add the param <param name=wmode value=transparent/>to my html.

But what else do I have to do ???

Thanks

Did you add it to the embed tag of the.html also?

What's the problem? On what browser?

You know what . I just realized I can do it but its not working in a pop-up window launched by a javascript inside a flash movie.

I just get the background of the html page its embeded in.

What I want is to see the other webpage with another .swf showing through the one above it.

Thanks

All .swfs must be set to be transparent...

I understand what your saying but I think I realized that even though we can achieve a transparent bg with our .swf movies, If the .swf in the pop-up window is embeded in a browser window we cant make the browser bg transparent even though the .swf in it has a transparent bg. The bg color of the html pg ends up showing through.

This is what I think I've figured so far. But I'll try making the base .swf transparent too.

Thanks

Did you ever see a transparent browser window?

not that I know of. How can that happen?

 

[oldnewbie]

Doubt it can... Maybe try an another division, iframe or a modal window, but directly holding a .swf, without it being embedded in an .html, which as I understand it, will never be transparent...

I think another solution might be to create a projector. But it must be cross-platform...

 

[oldnewbie]

A projector for online use?
