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?

You can set your Flash movie to be transparent, but it will only work in

I.E. 4 and up browsers and 32 bit.

To set it, go to Publish Settings, click on the HTML tab, click on the

Window Mode drop-down box and select "Transparent Windowless." If you are

using Flash 3, you can set this up in Aftershock as well.


Good Luck
