Flash :: Background Transparency

Document Background Transparency
Is there a way to make the background of a Flash Document have total transparency? I'm currently making a navigation for may website. It has an odd shape and isn't the perfect square that all documents are. When I put the navigation up on my website I don't want to see the white background all around the navigation bar. Is there anyway to get rid of the white so that I can just see the website's background? Or is there anyway to make a flash document fit right around the navigation? I just want to see the navigation, nothing more, nothing less. Can anyone help?

Background Transparency Between Browsers
I'm doing an interactive menu and have set the background to 'transparent' - this works fine with IE, but not, it seems, with Opera or Firefox which display the default white background.

GIF Background Transparency In Flash CS3
I am attempting to publish a gif image created by Flash CS3 with a transparent background. In the Publish Settings for a .gif file, I enable the transparency setting to "transparent" which is supposed to make the background of the published gif file transparent.

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to create a gif file with its background transparent using the above method (which is the way the help file tells you to do it)-- it is always opaque, no matter which color is chosen for the fla background. Is this some kind of bug with Flash?

Background Transparency Troubles In IE
Hi guys,

I have to create this Flash with a transparent background. This works fine in most browsers except in IE. The thing is, I have to listen to a Stage resize, to resize stuff according to Stage size, so I have to following code on the first frame:

ActionScript Code:
this.onResize = function()
{
//-- Replace stuff...
};

Stage.addListener(this);
When using this in IE the Flash gets sized to zero size (that's just a guess because it's not visible on screen).

Any thoughts?

Text Transparency With Solid Background
hi,

i'm trying to create a menu setup where the menu option "inverts" on a mouseover.

i have a picture as backdrop, and white textual menu options. The text has no background or border, so the options are just white text floating over the background.

i'm trying to make it so that when you hover over an item, it changes to a white text background, and the text becomes transparent, so that suddenly the background becomes visible through the text.

does anyone know if this is possible? If not, i'll have to go with black text on a white background for the mouseover. one thing that strikes me is: are negative masks possible? could i make the text a mask so that it appears to cut a transparent hole in a white box?

any help would be appreciated,
c

Alpha Transparency On Text Background
Hi,

I'm fairly new to ActionScript, and am trying to apply Alpha to a text background in Actionscript.

I have a dynamic text field, which I can change the background colour (i'm English ) of by setting background to true, and applying a value to backgroundColor. However, I can't seem to find a way to apply Alpha.

I know there is a Color.setTransform function, but that doesn't seem to do anything. I've tried the following:

MainCaption.TopLine.backgroundColor = 0xff0000;
MainCaption.TopLine.backgroundColor.setTransform({ aa:'70'});

But no Alpha! Can anyone help!?

Background Color Of Swf File/transparency
Hi all. I have a FLASH file (MX) where the BG color is 777777. It shows up this way, yet when I export it to SWF format and into an HTML page, it comes in white. Is there some simple box I should be checking so that it shows the true/intended BG color or do I need to make it "transparent" and if so, how do I do that? Thanks in advance.....)

Tree Background Transparency With Lee's Tutorial
I've created a tree via the tutorial I found on this site that Lee put up as a video. I'm trying to incorporate that UI with a transparent background so only the folders and links are visible in the list.

I've seen others paste code that deals with the transparent background however I'm not entirely sure how to incorporate that into the way Lee showed the method in the XML tutorial on this site.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!

Problem With Transparency Over Changing Background Colour
Please, please help. I'm new to flash and have created my first movie with mx which i'm pleased with apart from one sequence where i have a movie clip of leaves falling over a changing background ( a rectangle created and filled in flash with colour and tweened so it fades in and out of different colours). I've edited the leaf png in the movie clip till kingdom come, it has transparency when i view it in fireworks mx, but when viewed in the whole movie preview the leaf has a light brown rectangle around it. It is something to do with the tweening background colour that is not fully supported by the transparency, are there only a limited no. of colours that will be transparent behind the leaf?

please, please help its driving me crazy.

Cheers

Wmode Transparency Showing Black Boxes As Background
Well this is very weird...
I have a main SWF embed on the html with swfobject and the wmode set to transparent on an absolut position.

HTML Code:
#myBKG{
height: 100%;
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
z-index:1;
}
Then over myBKG, i have another swf that is a custom shape with some buttons embeded also on the html and with this CSS

HTML Code:
#footer {
border: none;
height:120px;
width:100%;
z-index:3;
}
the position of the footer is ok and it looks nice over the 'myBKG', until I place the mouse over the 'footer's buttons'.
The problem is that it starts showing black-boxes on the transparent area (like the red rectangle displayed when you select 'show redraw regions' on the ide player).
Is there any way to solve this? or the best solution would be to rethink the design?

Transparent Background/ XML Code To Change The Background Colour
Hi,

In a bit of a pickle here; I need a way to insert a swf file into any color background website, so it automatically matches up.

Now, can one make the swf files background transparent? And match the background of any given websites background?

Or, can one use some sort of XML file and simply change this xml file to match the background color of the website?

Now, what if the website uses a particulare pic background? How would one match this?

As usual folks, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place, so any help deeply apprecaiteed!

Kind Regards,

Boxing Boom

Printing A MC With White Background, Not Stage Background?
Iâ€™m trying to print a movieclip with a white background while keeping the stage background black. The movieclip, printResults_mc has a white rectangle in the bottom layer, 850 pixels x 1100 pixels. The following function scales printResults_mc to the printerâ€™s printable area but because itâ€™s impossible to predict the aspect ratio of the printable area some black background always leaks out. I tried making the white background 20 pixels larger than I need (870 x 1120) and then setting a crop rectangle in addPage of (10,10,850,1100), no luck, the black stage background just fills in the area outside the crop. A simple solution would be to temporarily set the stage background color property to white, print, then set it back to black, but I canâ€™t find any such property. Anyone have some ideas?

Attach Code

function printResults(e:MouseEvent):void {
var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var result:Boolean = myPrintJob.start();
var pageMargin:Number = 0;
if (result) {
prepPage();
var cropRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(pageMargin,pageMargin,printResults_mc.width-pageMargin,printResults_mc.height-pageMargin);
printResults_mc.width = myPrintJob.pageWidth;
printResults_mc.scaleY = printResults_mc.scaleX
myPrintJob.addPage(printResults_mc,cropRect);
myPrintJob.send();
} else {
//User does not have printer or user canceled print action
};
}

Transparency
Hello !

I would like to know if it's possible to have a transparent stage
for example when you add a SWF file to a normal HTML web page
and the stage had to be a little bigger ( page=800x600,
stage=530x400, animation in the stage starts at 460x200
and ends at 460x400) beacuse it's a card that opens.

If not what are my solutions?

Transparency...
Hello again...

I have been working on getting a flame effect for some time. And i think i have finaly got it.

To get this effect i have 1 picture of flames that i place on the stage and rotate it clockwise. then i duplicate the same image and have it rotating counter clockwise. The reslult is quite efective.

To do this i had to change the Alpha to around 50% to make the pictures transparent. This resulted in the flames becoming dull

MY question is... can i make the flame pictures transparent without losing the brightness and sharp contrast ???

The FLA and SWF can be found here....

SWF:

FLA:

Well I'm kinda a newbie to flash but I've looked alot of places and I can't find an answer to this question. If I have a picture in Photoshop or some other program and there is white space around the outside of it. How do I put it into FlashMX on a layer so that I only see the picture part and the white space is either gone or transparent. That way I could make a background on a different layer. Is there any way to do this.

I was wondering if it's possible to make an imported image have a transparent background. I'm importing images from photoshop 7, so when I'm dealing with multiple layers there's a white box behind the image where the background of the photoshop file was. Is there any way to make this transparent so that I can see the layer behind it without the white background? I'm very new at flash, so please keep this in mind if you respond. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
