Flash: Making a Transparent Background

Don't ever tell me that its the window mode set to transparent in the html setting in publish settings and don't tell me I need to change the html code of the published product in dreamweaver because I don't have dreamweaver.
How is one to make an swf file file that has no background in it without Dreamweaver and without a publish setting that doesn't work?
After that can be answered, how then are you to make an avi. file thats transparent?
Advice told me that I need to convert the swf to avi. How is one to this?
And last, I'm new to the discussions...
How do you edit your discussion so I don't have to post the same topic twice with new information?

You can use any text editor (such as Notepad) to edit an html file, you don't need Dreamweaver.
You cannot edit an intitial posting after you have posted it, so it is important to prepare it carefully ahead of posting it so that you are sure it has all the information you intend.  If you need to clarify something afterwards, then you can only post a response afterwards to attempt to clear things up.

  • How do I save stock footage as flash file with transparent background?

    Hi
    I have some stock footage of smoke on a black background (.mov format) that I would like to convert to a flash file with a transparent background, which I will be overlaying over a PNG image on a webpage.
    I have managed to remove the black background in After Effects using a plugin called UnMult, but when I try to render as a FLV file in AE, even though I check the option to preserve the alpha channel and encode using the On2 VP6 codec, I still get a black background.
    So I am wondering what else to try, whether it be with AE or Flash CS4.  Is there a way of achieving this effect by directly importing the MOV file into Flash CS4 and removing the black background there, or do I have to use AE, and if so, how to achieve the effect I am looking for?
    I would be grateful for any help in getting this together
    Thanks
    Nick

    You can put the video file in a movie clip and change it's
    blending in the properties panel to multiply or screen.

  • Flash exe with transparent background

    Hi,
       Is there a way to project an EXE with transparent background from flash (only using flash).
    If not only flash,
          then what else should I use??
    As I know there are softwares like NorthCode, Zinc, etc., But all of them affects the script in some way like "fscommand("quit");, loadMovie();" does not seem working.
    What I exactly need is:
      1) Flash projector (EXE as well as APP) with transparent background
      2) I need to loadMovie (call exteranl swfs) into the main projector file.
          "note:The external swfs are FlashPaper files, so I should I have access to API, so that I could resize them, edit UI as I want."
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Export Flash Video With Transparent Background

    Is it possible to export an After Effects Comp to a Flash Video with a transparent background?
    I have made a simple animation with no background. I'd like to export the Flash Video to go on a web site. I'd like to keep the background transparent.
    Can this be done, and is there a checklist of what I need to select in "Make Movie"?
    Thanks!

  • Can't get Transparent background in Adobe Flash Professional CS4

    I'm wanting to create a moving object that will be exported into a tv commercial.
    Object has already been created in Adobe Illustrator, and now will be dropped into flash for adding movement.
    The destination commercial will be created in Sony Vegas, with the settings of (Australian) PAL television (25 fps, 576x720 pixels, lower field first).
    Thus keeping it simple, I want to set Adobe flash with the same output format, meaning that the canvas will have to be 576x720 pixels at 25 fps.  So far this seems to have worked okay.
    Now I'm wanting to get rid of the canvas colour, just like I have here in this photoshop screen shot.
    Judging by the colour palette in Flash Professional, it looks like it can't be done.  I've checked "transparent palette" through yahoo and google, and had no results.  The adobe documentation only details how to remove a background in Photoshop.
    Can someone please inform me how to get transparent background in Adobe Flash Professional CS4.  Thanks

    As far as I know there is no option to set up a file with a transparent background in design mode.  A transparent background is normally realized in the embedding code of an html web page that displays the Flash file (using wmode="transparent" as a parameter).

  • Making an animation with transparent background.

    Hi everyone,
    I want to make my animation have a transparent background
    instead of a blank background so that it can blend with my
    presentation. Is it possible to create the movie like this?
    Ted.

    I haven't dealt with placing Flash content into a powerpoint file, so I don't know if the usual approach used in web pages is possible.  Normally, in a web page you just specify the parameter wmode="transparent".  Do you have any ability to set parameters for the swf when you place it in the powerpoint file?

  • Transparent background in Captivate Flash movie on all slides

    hi im trying to make background transparent, and I've achieved it in first slide of presentation, but when slide changes the background changes to white.

    Can You help me make whole presentation background transparent?
    Best regards,

    Hi Erik
    The fact so much time has passed since your first post would seem to indicate you have managed to stump all of us. LOL
    I know way back around Captivate 1, 2 or 3 I would play with creating a transparent background, but I also recall that one of the versions seems to have unfortunately broken that.
    Frankly, I'm surprised you are able to coax the initial load to be transparent. And about the only think I can think of to suggest here is to look at the properties for slide 2 forward and see what's different between them and the first slide. Master Page? Maybe by doing that you will find the "secret sauce". If you do, please share!
    Cheers... Rick

  • Making a image have a transparent background

    I was given a image and asked to use it as a logo for a website. It is a black image with a white background. How do I get a transparent background so I can post the image on a web page and only see the image and not the white background it has? I am using photoshop elements 5.0. Thanks.

    For me, best solution for extracting an image from its background is using a terrific plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. It's called GML Matting. It's free, functions flawlessly and you can create some amazing images with it. I save the extracted images with transparent backgrounds as PSDs.
    You can download it here: http://research.graphicon.ru/image-processing/gml-matting-6.html
    Select the latest version from the menu. After it's installed, you'll find it at the bottom of the Filters pull-down.
    I've used it with Elements 2, 5 and 7.
    How well does it work? You can decide. I took two photos, one of my Jeep parked in a parking lot, overlooking a quiet bay. Then I took another photo of the rough surf on the ocean side of the island. Using Elements 5 with the GML Matting plug-in, I extracted the Jeep and its shadow and dropped the image onto the photo of the surf. It took about 30 minutes to clean up edges (using various Elements tools). When completed, the resulting image is virtually impossible to detect as a composite.
    Here's the finished image: http://home.att.net/~historyworld/OceanBeachJeep.jpg
    You can see a review of the plug-in and see the images to create my composite by scrolling through the linked thread below (on the Photocamel forums). http://photocamel.com/forum/image-editing-color-management/48945-free-background-removal- software.html

  • Tree component transparent background

    Trying to make the tree component have transparent

    I have tried puting it in a movie clip and making that Alpa =

    Is there a actionscript genius out there that would be kind

    Thanks in advance.

    I just did the same myself and it became transparent....

  • Rendering transparent background for website video

    I have a comp for a website that I'm doing.
    I have a transparent background and some fading in WHITE text with a light ray animated behind it.
    I have followed instructions on how to render with the transparency intact (Quicktime, PNG, RGB+Alpha, Millions of Colors+).  When I render it out and watch it in Quicktime, the light ray isn't correct and there's no transparency.  Same thing with Final Cut Pro. 
    When I bring the footage back into AE, the transparency is there so I'm assuming that the transparency is there but QT & FC just don't play transparency files.
    I need the transparency bc I want the text to reveal over a background picture I have in my webpage design.
    Is there anyway to get this done right?  I need the file to NOT be 300+ megabytes and when I drag the clip into COMPRESSOR to make it smaller, nothing is showing on the preview screen.  I've been doing some research but haven't found anything to make it work correctly.
    Can someone help me with this?
    In the end, what I'm attempting to do is add the QT video into my iWeb page and have it play. I'm not a coder so I don't know how to make this happen any other way than making a QT movie and then adding it iWeb.
    thanks in advance.

    The only video format that supports transparency in a web browser is a flash player. That really doesn't fully support transparency either. The QuickTime player or any other video player will never ever support transparency in a web browser. Your project design is flawed from the outset. Another words you cannot do what you are trying to do using QuickTime. You will have to redesign for flash. If you redesign with flash, then you will not have a mobile compatible application.
    I don't have much of an explanation of what you are trying to accomplish with your project so I can't give you more pointers than that. Point us to a website that has the features you are trying to implement on your webpage and maybe we can give you some ideas but After Effects is not where you should be looking.

  • Having a Transparent background

    I am currently making a presentation file in Authorware and I
    have used some Flash Movies. But I can come across a problem. When
    viewing the presentation on slower and older machines the Flash
    movies dont run properly (all jitery and jumpy). I have had some
    advice from the Authorware Forum, but I was wondering whether or
    not you can actually set the background to transparent? If anyone
    has any experience using Authorware then you will know that there
    is a feature called 'Direct To Screen'. This makes the Flash Movies
    run how they should, but it shows the background of the Flash Movie
    which I dont want. You can set it to transparent but as I just said
    on older computers it causes they Flash Movies to run very slow and
    are very jumpy.
    So, finally is there a way of getting around this?? Can I
    have a transparent background??
    Thanks.

    search the forum for "WMODE" or "transparent background" -
    heavily discussed for years - lots of
    pros and cons (possibly may find more cons).

  • How to export animated gif with transparent background and glow effect?

    I've been having issues lately with creating animated gifs in flash. I finally figured out a way to export a gif with a transparent background but I'm now having an issue with it again because I'm using a glow effect. When the gif is exported the glow effect changes into a very poor quality and becomes less of a glow and more like a solid color. I've even exported a png sequence from flash and put it into photoshop then created a gif from there but I'm still having the same issue. Is there anyway I can properly export this in gif form so the quality is the same as when I test it in flash?
    I've provided an image of what my issue looks like and the settings (I've messed around with the settings and this is the best I can come up with) . This is in photoshop but the result is similar in flash. The left one is what it originally looks like and the right is what it will look like after exporting. As you can see as I said before the glow changes into more of a solid color kind of like a border. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

    A GIF is limited to 256 colors while a glow effect likely wants to tie up thousands (let's just say 'lots') of variations of tone.

  • How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

    I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
    I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
    I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
    I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.

    faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
    " The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
    To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."
