background Shaping

[ela4u]

Is their a way to manipulate the background shape the/a movie is laid out on? Does the background have to be Perpendicular all around, and if it can be manipulated – How Please? The reshape tool does not give me an anchor option for this…..Ela

You can make your background transparent by clicking the export panel and then the window mode and then selecting transparent from the drop down list. Then the only visible items would be the shapes you insert in your movie but the actual shape would still be rectangle.

You can also use a 3rd party projector (not very useful in html mode) to make custom shaped movies.

Check out SWF Studio: http://www.northcode.com/products/sw.../features.html

or ScreenWeaver MX (still in private beta)

For HTML purposes, make the bottom layer any shape you want and make the movie transparent as rhellstrom said.
