After make transparent background everything is transparent - what a stupid FLEX !!

I created transparent background. But each component placed on this background is also transparent - only letters are visible. I can't make other background for these components - for example button - I can't create red button:

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" width="250" height="250" alpha="0.0" >
<mx:Button x="23" y="50" label="Button" fillAlphas="[1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0]" fillColors="[#F50D0D, #F50D0D]" alpha="1.0"/>
</mx:Application>
Screen on yellow website Flex application WITHOUT transparent background:

Does anybody know how I can make not transparent components for transparent background ?

I didn't know about Category View in Flex Builder. I thought that Standard View has got the same properties as Category View. But as I see Category View has got much more properties !!
backgroundAlpha="0" works !! at least - thx !! So screen with this option in Flex Builder:

        <mx:Button x="175" y="10" label="Button"/>
        <mx:TabNavigator x="25" y="40" width="200" height="200">
                <mx:Canvas label="Tab 1" width="100%" height="100%">
                </mx:Canvas>
        </mx:TabNavigator>
</mx:Application>
Screen - final result: http://img136.imageshack.us/my.php?image=09022009162759.png

Transparent background not staying transparent in dreamweaver

Hello all-
I am having an issue with importing a file with a transparent background into dreamweaver. I created the image with a transparent background, saved for web as a PNG, keeping the transparent background. When I pull the file into dreamweaver, the background of the image turns to yellow. Any ideas what I may or may not be doing?
I created the image in illustrator and pulled to photoshop to manipulate. I'm saving the image for web/devices from photoshop.
Thanks.
Brianne

You should repost in the Dreamweaver forum, this has nothing to do with color management.

Transparent background, but not transparent on print.

I have a Photoshop file with a transparent background and when I place it on the Illustrator against a colored background, it's still transparent on the screen, but when I print it, the transparent part comes out slightly white. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Slide yourRaster/Vector balance slider to raster, then Illustrator will raster all the colors, therefore areas with and without transparency transparency will have the same color.
Print>>Advanced>>Custom button>>Slide to raster>>(optional: change dpi to 600 if you want better qulaity but may print slower)

Getting an image inside of a CSS created background transparency to NOT be transparent

I created a div with a partially transparent background color. That is working great. But, inside that div I placed an image and that image is also partially transparent, which I do not want. I want the image to be 100% opaque. I have tried and failed with a variety of styles.
Here is the CSS that makes the background color partially transparent.
#home-text {
    width: 873px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    color: #000;
    background-color: #E4CC92;
    /* for IE */
filter:alpha(opacity=70);
    /* CSS3 standard */
opacity:0.7;
    margin-top: 725px;
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-left: 35px;
    padding-right: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 20px;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 12px;
    border: 2px solid #421206;
Thank you for any help.

I'm afraid opacity effects everything inside the container.
As a workaround, apply a semi-transparent PNG background-image to your container. This will give the 'see through' effect without degrading opacity on text & images.

Question about transparent background

Hi,
I have created a simple graphic with 4 layers on a
transparent background. When I save this image as a jpg, gif or
flattened png, the transparent background turnsto white. What
should I do to save it as jpg or gif with a transparent background?
Thanks in advance

this bluish gray color from.
Any clue?
Oh...sorry, yes. First, try index transparency, not alpha
transparency. For IE prior to version 7, you need to add some
JavaScript. For example, this script by
Drew
McLellan. Here's a
Google
search for more reading
Also, copying myself from
this
thread
quote:
JPG: This format has all 16.7 million colors, but it
compresses by throwing away "high-frequency" information (sharp
edges will blur funny). This format is good for photographs and
other images where colors change slightly from one pixel to another
(as in gradients). This format does not have transparency.
GIF: This format retains color information, but can only
support 256 colors -
any 256, though. It supports transparency, you can set one
of your 256 colors to be transparent. This format is good for
graphics with areas of solid colors. This format can also support
multiple frames in the same file, giving rise to animation.
PNG: This format retains color information like .gif and has
16.7 million colors, like .jpg. It handles transparency, too.
What's not to love? Well, not all browsers show .png files
properly. The major ones will, though, so if you know your audience
is mostly on one of the major or newer browsers (intranet use?
check your log files?), then you should be okay.
Index and alpha transparency. Index transparency means, more
or less, "make every pixel that is
THIS color fully transparent and every other pixel fully
opaque. Alpha transparency (often done with a mask of some kind)
means you can set the transparency of a pixel in the range from
fully opaque to fully transparent, from 0-255. These images are 32
bit: 8 bits for Red, 8 bits for Green, 8 bits for Blue, and 8 bits
for alpha transparency.
For the Web, you probably want to use index transparency,
because support for alpha transparency on .png files can be a bit
flakey. Support for index transparency is pretty good with the
newer browsers, but if a good portion of your audience is using
older browsers, you have some design trade-offs to make.
Probably good to read up on things:
Google
search for png support in browsers.

Photoshop text + bevel and emboss on TRANSPARENT background?

I've created my Photoshop title images with text + bevel and emboss, on a transparent background.
I've Rasterized the type and I've merged down leaving the transparent background (not flattened) then saved as .psd or .tif (with layers).
When I import into FCP I either get the text WITH bevel and emboss, on a WHITE background or text WITHOUT bevel and emboss, on a TRANSPARENT background.
Strange thing is, I've imported Photoshop images with transparent backgrounds into FCP several times before and although I can't say I've never had problems, I've always managed to work it out quite easily. Not this time, I'm baffled and seriously considering getting cross!

Hello,
I have tried the Ken Stone method (thank God for that guy...) but I am loosing my drop shadow and bevel effects on the text once the file is imported in FCP.. I used the NTSC preset with Transparent background in Photoshop. What am I missing? I have looked around in this forum and can't find a clear answer!!
Any thoughts??

How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

Hello Forum.
How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool. But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
So I tried something new. I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area. Then I coped this area. Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator. But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
How do I make the background transparent.
I made this small video to show what I am talking about:

Don't Copy/Paste the image.
Make it transparent in Photoshop, save a PSD and place it in Illustrator

How to make background of layer transparent so just the object shows up?....

Hi, I don't know if there's a way to do what I'm trying to but I'm trying to take a jpg picture that I uploaded onto my photoshop elements editor, then using the maze I have on microsoft word to make a maze out of the picture. I was able to paste the maze over the picture by using the over lay option for the 2nd layer and making it more transparent but the lines are getting too transparent also and you can't see some of the lines at all that is over white areas. Is there another way that I can make it so that the lines (of the maze) only show up and make it so the white background is totally transparent?
I'm also wondering how I can change the whole background color without affecting the picture or anything else. This is my first time playing with the elements editor, I was just thinking I guess I could make a botttom layer and make the layer the color I want or will it bleed through to the other layers or the other layers just cover it up? I really don't know what I'm doing and really don't know about these layers, I'm surprised I was able to do what I did.
Thank you for any suggestions or help.
IDK if I'm explaining this right so here is a link to the image.
Thanks

With this image, it will be easiest to select the white background.
1. I would recommend using the Quick Select Tool. Select the white background.
2. Because you want the lung guy on his own layer not the white background, you need to invert the selection. Select<Inverse.
3. Copy the lung guy onto his own layer. On PC, press ctrl + J. If on a Mac, the shortcut is cmd + J.
4. You can now copy/paste lung guy in the desired photo. Alternately, you can drag his layer from the layers palette and drop him into the other document. (If the resolution of lung guy doesn't match your image's resolution, he will shrink or expand as his layer will take on the resolution of the document he is moved into.)
Note: I would not use the lettering as you can see where the lung guy's image overlaps. It will be an easier project if you redo the lettering in Word or use the Photoshop Element's text tool...maybe with text warp and a layer style....to add the text.

How do we make a PDF URL Player have a Transparent background?

Using a URL to place a media (audio and video) into a PDF. (Not using a SWF)
It does work...BUT...
Question: How do we make the player have a transparent background? Currently, there is this nasty dark gray background.
See screenshot:

To get to the best forum, use the links at the top of this page, under where it says "Creating, Editing and Exporting PDF". They say

The first link takes you to the master list of forums
The second link takes you to the Acrobat forums. There you will find one called Rich Media and 3D.
I'm no expert, though, but it seemed a pretty clear reply saying you can't do what you want to do. But I wouldn't put much weight on what I think about that point.

How do you make an image have a transparent background?

i brought an image from PS into Illustrator and i want to put it in AE and use the puppet tool. however, when i bring it in it has a white background, but i just what the object i am going to puppet, so how do i do that?

AE does not require an image to be sent through Illy first. Just make sure your image has a transparent background and/or an alpha channel if need, then save as a psd file. In AE bring the psd file in as footage, unless you need a compostion and folder for the psd created in the project list. You should then be able to use the puppet tool on an image with a transparent background.

I can't make a transparent background...

I have a text logo on a white background and need to make the background transparent. However, the logo is movable on the white but is a part of the same layer. When I try to add a layer that is transparent, it comes in white. I don't know how to have the logo on a transparent background. How do I get rid of the white?
thanks.

“Open your brush panel and see if anything is enabled that shouldn't be for the eraser.”
I looked but am not entirely sure what I’m looking for.
Find the magic wand in the left tool bar 4th one down.
Click and hold until a popup shows and select the other tool called the quick selection tool. With that tool enabled drag across the white (from 1 side of document to the other side) hit the delete key. What happens?
I had some success with this....in Photoshop it looks like I have a transparent background but when I insert the image in Word over a coloured background, the white is still there. I’ll paste these below. I cropped it a bit, too. (hard to tell but it's the grid behind the word now not white. I even remembered inside the 'o' for instance! :-)
oh, and I saved it as a jpeg. That should be fine, right?

Spherical Photo Gallery how to make a transparent background

http://www.flashandmath.com/flashcs4/spheregallery/index.html
http://www.flashandmath.com/flashcs4/spheregallery/spherical_gallery.zip
I am pretty new to the world of flash, a flash newbie.
Please check link above my question is related to making this sphere gallery.
I am trying to make the background transparent, and i can , when i make it transparent
the navigation for the sphere doesnt let me navigate throught the pictures.
If you look at the code i made it transparent by removing the drawboard function or the fills in the function.
As i said when i do this the navigation seems non functional.
if download link does not work try the other at the top.

Hi,
Since you had written event handlers on 'board' and board is transparent (without drawBoard function), there will be no events triggered and navigation is not possible. Workaround is to create board with fill = minimum alpha value (0.01).
board.graphics.beginFill(0x0, 0.01);
Let me know if you need more information.

Make imported jpg in Ai CS5 have transparent background instead of white

I have been looking around the forums and help pages, but I can not seem to find my answer. Maybe I am using the wrong terminology?
In Adobe Illustrator CS5 I have imported a jpg into my artboard. The jpg has a white background. I would like to make the background of the imported jpg transparent. How do I do that? Thanks.
P.S. I do realize that jpgs do not allow transparency, but its the art piece I have to work with.

Go with a format as Monika suggest that asupports transparency .psd, .tif, .png, .pdf.
If you do not have phothsop, you coudl use the transparency palette to create one in Illustrator (see the reverse looking thumbnail, to the right of the blue splat thumbail)

Make a label with not transparent background

Hi,
When generating a label control, the default background color is transparent, but once add a color for it, it will show a raised box. How to make a label with background color and has the flat format?
David

Once you have the color picker, select the desired color, then hit the space-bar to only select the outline color and then select the transparent color in the upper right.
Hitting the space-bar toggles between the different combinations of elements to be colored, just play around and you'll get the desired effect.
