Flash :: Transparency Problems

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?

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:

Transparency
(as if you couldn't tell - I'm a Flash newbie!) Is it possible to export a Flash movie with a transparent background. I have these cartoon like characters that I would like to appear (moving somewhat) on the bottom of a video. But I would like the background of the video to show thru.

Thank you for your help.

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.

Transparency
how do you fade in or out a bitmap or a vector graphic in flash MX?
I've tried placing a layer with the alpha set to 0% then motion tweening into 100% but nothing happens. If anyone has any ideas of how to get that mehtood to work or any other method it would be greatly appriceited.

Transparency
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.

On my website i have used several buttons created using flash MX. The buttons have rounded edges, so there is a section of the background visible.
Is there anyway to place the buttons into the HTML document, with a transparency, so the background of the buttons (the white bit basically) transparent?

Many thanks in advance,

What I am trying to do is put this video (which is a quicktime) into flash MX and then key out the green. Then I want to put that .swf file onto my html website so that when the flash file playes, the person walks across the webpage.
I can not for the life of me keep the transparency of the quicktime file.

Any suggestions on how to do this?!?!?

I have been at this for weeks and have hit the wall.

Please help.

PNG's Transparency
Hey guys, I'm having a problem importing images (with transparent background) into Flash. At first I used to export them as a gif, it has an amount of transparency (when imported to Flash) but as it goes nearer to the actual image white edges starts to appear. I tried importing its actual PNG and the transparency around edges are perfect but I've noticed that the image quality has degraded. Help! Since there are no options in the Export Wizard. Thanks!

Transparency On MAC
I recently built this site:
http://www.amaryllis.co.il

I used a transparent Flash background to have the Flash content always centered and only the HTML background cut off on smaller screens.

The transparency however does not work on MACs.

Any idea to make this MAC compatible as well?

Thanks,
David

I have just created a flash movie with a drawing in it supplied as part of a supplied PDF which I extricated using Corel Draw and exported as an ai. I have comfortably made it into a movie clip symbol and put it into a flash document and added a few animations. Looks fine. The photos I have been moving around trhe drawing kept their transparency when I optimised them from photoshop CS2 as GIFs. The problem is that I want to stick the movie into a web site which has a graphpaper background on the pages. I think that making a background in flash to match the dreamweaver one would be just about imposible so is it possible to make the movie have a transparent back ground?

The other issue is that I don't particularly want to restrict the web page to those with the latest flash player, but when I publish it as v6 or even v7 it tells me that it is not suitable for these players. I haven't used any particularly clever new functions as I am aware. I have just made motion tweens of photos resizing and moving and one photo tweens from 0% alpha to 100%. As a newbie I have close to zero experience with flash other than my recently finished Total Training course, so any help would be gratefully received as this is bound to be an on-going issue. I have intententionsally avoided using the nice new filters John Ulman explained came with v8 for this very reason.

Many thanks

Ralph

This is my first post, hello to everyone. I have made a button for my flash page in photoshop and require it to have a drop shadow, which will then cast over other objects in flash and be slightly transparent. I have made the drop shadow in photoshop using the standard blending options, and have tried exporting the image as both a png and a gif. The background alpha channel is read when I drop it in flash, but both the anti-aliasing and the drop shadow arent transparent, which makes for hideous blockly outlines, a flat grey drop shadow you can't see through, and a strange white line surrounding the shadow. When I am in the save for web options in photoshop, you can see the white line around the drop shadow. How can I overcome this and have smooth anti-aliased images with a drop shadow by preserving transparency?
Thankyou.

Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible to set a transparent background for an animation incorporated in a Dreamweaver website page, so that the animation doesnt play on a white background but rather with the website's background.

also, is it possible to set the backround of a scrollable text box transparent as well ?
thank you

Does anyone have experience exporting from Sorenson Squeeze 4.3 to an .flv that has an alpha channel (transparency)? I was able to export a QT w/ trans out of Flash itself, but am looking for the control of Squeeze while retaining the transparency.

100% Transparency Possible?
I created a text image in PS with a transparent background, saved it as a PNG and made it into an animation in Flash. Using DW I I imported the flash animantion and applied wmode:transparency to it. It worked for the most part, but you can still see a slight difference between the transparency of the text image (i.e. you can tell it's a rectangular box) and the background of my site.
Anything different I should be doing?

Transparency Help
I need to make the background of some of my objects transparent. I have tried using the Alpha tool, but that just makes the object itself transparent, and all I want is the white background gone.
I'm kind of a beginner to flash, however, but any help would be appreciated.

FLV And Transparency
Hey guys... Well, I have a video, and I can take out the bg, but here is the part I'm not sure about. If I remove the background from a flv(flash video) file, when I import it into flash... will there be a white background? or will it be transparent? You know what I mean? Since the video will be a rectangle... will there be white around the edges of the person or not? Thnx guys.
