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

PS i have AS STANDARD

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.
