Transparent Backgrounds

[m00gzilla]

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but it isn't possible to make a .swf that has a transparent background is it?

I have someone asking for an animation with a transparent background, and the background would be whatever is on their website.

it IS possible, but its buggy.

its a <param> tag when you're embedding the thing

i think its something like this. just add that stuff to your html code and it should work.


<param wmode value="transparent" />
<embed wmode value="transparent" />


but be warned it can be buggy sometimes. I think certain browsers have a hard time with it.
