I have been creating a flash logo for a site, but due to the type of bg on the page i want the animation to have a transparent background, i can get the color to anything i want apart from transparent, please help! I very new to flash.

If it's something simple, why not export it an an animated gif?

Or...

You can set the publish settings options under the HTML tab for "Window Mode" to "transparent windowless". Any transparent parts of your animation should let the HTML background show through, but it will really slow down the animation.

Also take a look at the docs on the macromedia site. There are tags you can put into the HTML yourself to make an animation transparent. Won't work with older browsers though.

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

or something like that.

it might be easier to jusy copy the page background into your flash doc so it matches exactly ...

[IanKelley]

Making it transparent will cause it to match exactly.

Putting the relevant piece of the background into the animation means the animation has to be located in exactly the right place on all browsers (and can never be moved) and color depth/image compression have to be exactly the same on the orphan piece and the original background.
