Hi,
I have an index.html with a background and a flash movie covering the majority of the page. I can't find how to make the background in the FLA transparent and in order to avoid the white background of the FLA I put the same background in the movie as I used on the HTML page. But the borders are clearly visible and look unprofessional.
Is there a way to avoid this border effect?

yeah, know the problem. Is it just a subtle difference between the two colours? I haven't tried this but you might consider making a gif or png in photoshop with the same colour as the html doc and placing it on the bottom layer as the background. It's possible that the sRGB colour profile used in photoshop will match better than flash's colour profile. Worth a shot.

Hi,
You need to open the html doc in something like notepad and place this code under the <head> tag :

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<TABLE WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" BORDER="0"><TR align="center" valign="middle"><TD>

then after the flash embed code, but before the <body> tag put :

</TD></TR></TABLE>

This will ventre the movie and remove margins.

I here that the good folks over at
www.macromedia.com (http://www.macromedia.com) have an extension to do all this for you

Hope it helps
