Re: FLASH: Transparent background?

[Sarah Lamont]

Kannan,

thanks for the info, :), but - this didn't work for me, I did

exactly what you said and then I published to an .swf. To test it to see

if it was really transparent, I put it in an html doc. with a blue background.

Instead of being transparent, the background was the 100% color that I

picked before changing it to 0% alpha and clicking "new". Am I missing

something?

Yes. It is possible. Go to paintbucket tool (U), and select a
color from the color edit mode. Make the alpha to zero and the entire color
would be transparent (that is no color.) Click the "New" button. This
transpareny will be added to the color pallette as a new color. Now go to
Modify movie (Ctrl-M or Command-M) and look for this color at the
bottom(which you created in the color edit mode) and apply. You got a
transparent background.
