Re: FLASH: Transparent background possible?

[Randy Kato]

The transparent background only works in IE (4+ I think), and it requires a

"Transparent Windowless" Window Mode setting in the HTML tab of your publish

settings...or just the code in the Object/Embed tags.


Going back to the original post, you *can* get the background to line up if you put

it in Flash...I've done it with other things like Java applets and such and it does

work across browsers/platforms. It's just a matter of taking away all the

browser-dependent variables in the browser window. For Example, set MARGINHEIGHT=0

MARGINWIDTH=0 LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0, then use a table and spacer GIFs to

precisely position the SWF.


HTH,
