AFAIK the "Transparent" option only works in newer verions Internet Explorer (I'm not sure which exactly). This means if you try it in Netscape it won't work.

If you are using IE I can't help you...

You could do the whole page in Flash, then you won't have color matching problems.

I was also annoyed by that minor bug, I couldn't quite get my Swish logo to match the page background, so I...

You have exported from Swish haven't you?

Before adding your animation to the web page in Swish choose "Export to SWF", then insert it into your page, using Frontpage or whatever else you like...

I agree that Swish is worth buying. It's so cheap, plus its very easy to use. It is also pretty powerful, as the demoes will show you.

If you want an easyy cheap alternative to Flash just get...

AFAIK, when you export from Swish it "compiles" into the SWF. This means there is no way to figure out how its made.

Could you not get a copy of Swish at your Flash class? This would let you...

In the last frame of your animation add a Goto URL action (on the timeline click in the scenes line then Add Action --> Goto URL). Type in the URL you want, and thats it. Your animation will play...

I might try out the Flash trial, but its very complicated to learn - it would probably take me a month to learn it and by then the trial would have run out. :)

I do have the full version of Flash...

I knew that you can use symbol fonts, and I've got a few already.

Its just not easy to find a font of what you want, particularly if its a logo or something. It would be a lot less bother if...

It shouldn't be neccessary to use another scene.

As I said in reply to your first post, simply add a Show action in frame 1, then your other effect in whatever frame you like. I just tested this...

Surely it can be done without duplicate text? Maybe if you insert a "Show" action in frame 1, then the effect you want in frame 100.

I don't know if this will work, but I think it will.

I agree that Swish is great value. Only $30 for such a quality product.

I can no way afford Flash, so I am using Swish on its own to generate Shockwave files. It is very good, even though it...

For queston 1, AFAIK the only reason for exporting as shapes is to get around a bug in Flash. Basically, if you're not using Flash, or your fonts are appearing OK in Flash, don't bother exporting as...

Firstly, you have downloaded Swish 1.01 and insalled it over the top of the previous version?

If you have, when you run Swish it should start version 1.01. There aren't many obvious differences,...

Your problem is obviously due to lack of RAM. :)

Seriously, I'm can't add much, just make sure you have Swish v1.01 which fixes a few bugs and may solve your problem.

Could you not just insert a Stop action at the end of the movie in Swish? It should make it just play once, though I don't know what will happen if you insert it into Flash.

...

Though if you don't have Flash you could use simple HTML to add sound or music.

This won't give you much control over it though, it will just play as soon as the page loads. Maybe you could split...

As I can't see the swi file I can't be sure - if you are having problems it will be helpful to let others see it.

From what I can figure out, you have set the mailto link to a OnMouseOver actioon,...

Yes, I also tried it and it works perfectly.

You could try adding a stop action at the end of your movie. Select the scene name in the timeline then click on add action, then stop.

Your animation should play to that point, then stop, no...
