Transparent Text Scoll Box

[AlbinoPigeon]

I want to insert a Flash scrolling text box into my HTML...but I want it to be transparent so that you can see the backround of the page. I have a text box made, but the Flash backround is always some colour, not transparent. Can anyone help!!

Do you mean between the text ? Or the actual text too ? The 1st is so by default. The second can be achieved by putting it in a mc, and set the _alpha property of that mc lower than 100.

it's the first one. I want the box to be transparent, but not the text. How do I do this? (btw: i'm kinda new to Flash...dont know what an mc is!)

Howdy...

I am not quite sure, but I think you are talking about transparent Flash movie... If that's the case, do the search on the forum or Macromedia with this term, 'wmode', to get more information...

OK, I went into publish settings and changed the window to transparent windowless...but it still wont be see-through. What else do I hafta do??

Also...I am looking to get a .swf file and just put it into a cell on my HTML page. That .swf file needs to be see through so that I can see the cell's backround image.
