Exporting in transparent Background

Post by virixproductions »

I'm working on a website is it possible to export a SWF file with a transparent background I don't have any Photoshop or other Adobe products exect for flash player and etc. I heard if I put nothing on the background and export it it will be transparent but on the website it has the same color as the default background

The SWF file will be transparent, but only if you import it in Flash. In a web browser or Flash player it will show the default AS background colour.

Please refrain from sending me PMs when I already answer in the forum.

To clarify: an SWF in a browser CANNOT be transparent. You have to choose the correct background colour in AS, or even import the portion of the website background the SWF will cover, to simulate transparency.
