yeah you can put your flash movie into dreamweaver ( this is the only one i know that does this nifty trick ) and click it and then click parameters and then in the first little box thing were you type in :s lol !!! type

wmode

then in the other box type in

transparent then when you upload you site there will be no background

NOTE: you must have you background colour on flash the standart white colour ( i think ) hope i helped

do everything i todl you to do before

but you can only test this when you have uploaded you site ermm..


say you make you page callied index

then you must make you page......

ad then upload it to your server then try the page from the web

By default the browser will include about 8 pixels of margin (or padding) around the page - pushing the movie away from the edge of the viewport. You can remove this by using,

<style type="text/css">
html, body {
  margin: 0; padding: 0;
}
</style>

in the head of your HTML page.

catbert303 is possibly a god! This post has virtually pulled me
from the fire...the border along the top is gone, but I still have
a slight (approx 4 pixels) border to the left. Any ideas why this
is still present? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[catbert303]

Do you have a link to the page to check?

If you right click on the border do you get the Flash context menu? If so the gap is probably from a slight misalignment inside the movie e.g. something that should be 0 pixels from the left edge is a fraction off.

Unfortunately..no link as it has not been uploaded yet. When I
right click the border i get an HTML context menu..the movie is
800 x 600 with basically a solid background image, a nav-panel,
a couple "floating" panels, and a title banner that is flush against
the top edge and goes all the way across the page.

First...thanx for the rapid reply! Your advice actually fixed
the problem completely. The "phantom" border was another
matter entirely, and frankly, too ridculous to mention..need
to sleep I guess! In any case it is fixed...thank you x1000!
