Transparent background?

[wtd6e]

Hello,

Is it possible in KoolMoves to create a movie, say moving text, that is transparent so that my webpage backdround image shows through? And if so, how in KoolMoves?

Thanks,

wtd6e

Yes, make the text transparent in the propertys panel, >>under color, just below the red,green, blue squares. I think you can also convert to a mc and then change the alfa(?) with motionscript. Make sure that under views>>list shapes that the text is above the background.

I sorry but when you say "convert to a mc and then change the alfa(?) with motionscript", just what do you mean?

Thanks,

Here is some info on wmode and the current browser support breakdown.

Fingermonkey has the right Idea,,
go to your parameters list in the coding and add:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

There is a slight problem over Browser compatability regarding netscape, but, since last summer, after I did a breakdown of my server stats and found that my system was being hit by approx 1 netscape hit to every 8400 IE hits, I've decided that the compatability thing isn't really worth bothering about. It's obviously a matter of personal choice. Cheers

I tried this at:
http://home.att.net/~picdiversion/trans.html
but as you can see the 1's do not align above the swf. I did try it several ways so I must not be seeing the objective here. From the source code can you see what is wrong? I am sure it is simple.

Looks like you've just laid your swf into the page as an object right after your 1,s. You need to give it an absolute position. For Example:

<DIV ID="idElement1" style="position:absolute; top:71px;left:22px;

or center both objects(the 1,s and the swf). Cheers
