Transparent backround in flash animation?
So far everything new is great and I'm very glad (since I live in France) with the support for accented caracters :) . But I can't make the flash animation backround transparent for the web. I had this same problem with the animated gifs, but Egg solved that for me (us).
See thread http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...286#post170286 This trick doesn't work with the flash animations though. What am I doing wrong? :(

Marcia,
That's not possible. Suprisingly even Flash can't do transparent backgrounds.

Tell me Raymond !!!
Btw I made a nice little flash animation with the text above, but I don't know how to insert it in a post...:o (like you did) I pasted this path: F:\Documents and Settings\Marcia en JP\Mijn documenten\tell me.swf, but it doesn't work. Can you explain?

Click 'quote' to see the code ..
Re: Transparent backround in flash animation?
Yes, but how did you know this code? I'm talking about Inserting an image and when you click on the icon you have to insert the URL of this image...
Btw I know how to insert links and attachements, that's easy.
I don't get it, sorry :o

Make your background the same color as the page background.
This is more difficult if you have a patterned background but it can work if the background pattern is random enough.

Right click on your attachment - select 'properties' in the resulting drop-down menu and the url you need is at the bottom of that menu.

Marcia, you can't link a file from your own computer.
The best way to do it is to attach the swf file to your post.
Save it.
Right click over the swf file link and select properties.
This gives you the talkgraphics url.
Select & copy this url.
Now go back and edit your post.
See the attachment below, this is what you need to type in.
It consists of open square bracket flash = url close square bracket quality=best width=Enter the required width height=Enter the required height open square bracket /flash close square bracket
I can't enter the code as it is as you wouldn't see it.
Re: Transparent backround in flash animation?
Gary: Thanks, but I already did that as you can see...
Raymond : now tell me how I can cheat, as my little flash movie says! Or did you mean what Gary wrote about the backround making the same colour?
Egg: This is what I meant, thank you :)
