Flash :: How Do You Change The Background Colour?

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

Background Colour Change.
Howdy people. Im looking to create a flash website which, when a button is pressed goes to a different section of the website.

However, when, for example you go from the 'homepage' to the 'about' page I want the background colour of the actual html page itself to change to a specific colour.

Any ideas? Anyone know if this is possible?

Any help appreciated.

I have an online folio and want to have a few different options for background colour. You click a button and the colour changes. Is there some way you can change the document background colour by code?

Thanks in advance

Background Colour Change.
Hello.
I was wondering if it was possible for me to change the colour of my background gradually using setTransform()? I dont know how to use it yet. But im guessing its something along the lines of..

ActionScript Code:
var myVar:Color = new Color(myMC);myVar.setTransform(Insert loads of rr, rg, rb stuff in here..);

But I want to do it gradually..

From what I remember, setTransform() is only a tint. Should I really be using setRGB()?

Thanks for ANY help .

An example of what I want can be found here : www.deathjr.com (SKip the intro, on the main site, then click 'Characters', choose any of them and watch the background colour change.

Change Background Colour Help.
Hello,

I,ve used Kirupa's script

( http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm )

to open a centralised window on the release of a button. It works brilliantly but I can't for my life work out how to change the background colour of the opened window to black.

I'm no programmer so don't really have much of a grasp of Action or Java script but having looked on the web, I think what I need to do is use document.bgColour('#000000') somewhere in the script but have no idea where to put it or even if it's right!

If someone could help me out on this one I'd be most grateful.

Cheers,

Mat.

Background Colour Change.
Quick question here (apologies is it has been dealt with elsewhere). I have Flash 5 and need to create a sequence of animations where the transperant front end basically loops and the background colour changes. I've not yet found a direct way of doing this - would it require an MX upgrade? Thanks.

Change HTML Background Colour
From within my flash movie, I need to change the background colour of the html page it is embedded in. I know I should use the FSCommand() function, but I can't figure out the correct syntax.

I've tried FSCommand("bgcolor", "#003300") but it does not work.

An easy one for a flash guru.

Thanks in advance,

Action Script To Change Background Colour Of Html Page
Hi, I'm trying to create a button in my flash move that would be able to change the background colour of the html page that holds it. I have posted this question before and someone gave me this code to use:

<html>....<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>

</SCRIPT>

Button action in flash :
on(release){
getURL("javascript:NEWbg('#FFFFFF')");
}

/////////////////////////////

or from flash w/o any code in html :

on(release){
getURL("javascript:document.bgColor='#FFFFFF'; void(0);");
}

The problem with this is that it brings up a dialogue box about flash security settings when you press the button which obviously won't do. does anyone know another method? Thanks in advance.

Background Colour Should Be Nothing
I'm pulling out my freshly streaked locks in an effort to remove this bloody light green background from the swish sprite I imported into FrontPage. How can I get rid of it? In swish the "background" colour I have selected to work a simple text sprite on is "white"... when I import it into Front Page, my sprite works just fine, but I have a NASTY GREEN BOX behind it... HELP. I have tried deleting "bgcolour" in the html but this turns the box white and deleted my text sprite altogether...

How To Set Background Colour?
I have 10 buttons for changing the background colour of a movieclip. Movie clip is a square with linear gradient. When I click 10th button I want to have the movieclip retain its original linear gradient colour, but right now it turns to some solid colour even though I have mentioned the RGB value of the linear gradient.

On the button I have
on (press) {
colour.text="#A0C4EB";
}

On the frame of the main timeline I have
myColor = new Color(colour);
c1.onRelease = function() {
myColor.setRGB(0xA0C4EB);
}
Is this right?

How To Set Flash Background Colour?
Is there a way to set a specific html value for the background of a Flash movie?

Just clicking the Modify Movie preferences only allows you to pick from the color boxes, without being able to input a html value.

Say you wanted the background value to be #D7D9DB, is there a way to do it?

Stage Background Colour
Hi, I'm wondering if someone can help me. I've set the background colour of my stage for exactly the same colour as the background colour of my web page. But it shows in the browser as a slightly different colour. I've tried making the stage transparent, but it shows in the browser as white. I swear, I think I've tried just about everything, but it just doesn't work. The colour of my webpage is #FFE8D0.

I tried changing the background colour of the Flash once I've inserted it in Dreamweaver - doesn't help. I even took a screen-shot of the different colours as they show on my website, and then taking a colour sample of each colour. They do sample a little differently - #FFE8D0 for the web page background, and #FFE7CF for the Flash background colour - so I tried to change the background colour of my web page to match that of the Flash piece. It seemed as though it made no difference at all.

I know I've rambled a bit, but I really have tried everything and it's driving me nuts. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rose

How To Not Print Background Colour
I have a single frame that gets printed when certain conditions occur, however because the movie is setup with a coloured background the print of the frame also prints with a coloured background. I have tried to place a white box on this frame but it still print the coloured backgroung (as margins) down the sides of the page. Is there a way that I can specify to print this frame without the background color. This flash movie is NOT controlled withing HTML.
thanks

Background Colour Changed In IE7
I constructed a site a few years ago which I updated today with a few files and I notice an annoying change in the way IE7 displays the navigation and title movie.

The background of the movie is set to black and now, in IE7 it's white which looks rubbish! I constructed the site in Flash 4.
Is there something different about IE7 as it displays fine in Firefox and Safari?

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

best wishes,

Colin.
