How do I make the stage transparent when published?

Hi. I'm new to flash and want to work towards making 2D animations.
I want to take a simple published animation and put it into SONY VEGAS. However, I only want the character (I've created a symbol for it) and not the big white stage. My goal is to get the animated character on top of all my sony vegas layers, but the stage is blocking all the other layers. Is there some kind of setting that can make the stage transparent when publishing as a SWF?

hi
you need to add some markup to your html:
add <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> to your <object> tag and add wmode="transparent" to the <embed> tag
the feature isn't supported by all browsers and it may cause your swf to slow down a bit if there's a lot going on visually.

  • How to make the stage transparent for SWF file being used in Dreamweaver

    I have a SWF file in my Dreamweaver site, that plays correctly. The problem is that the stage is white and we would like it to be transparent. Searching the archives the following advice was given:
    in your html embedding code you need to set the wmode parameter to be "transparent"
    I'm wondering if this is the code in Dreamweaver or is this done in Flash. I'm working with CS5. Below is the code that matches the SWF file in Dreamweaver. I did change the wmode value from "opaque" to "transparent" and it didn't work.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Yes, change this to "transparent" in ALL the places where wmode is shown
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    Second, be sure that there is in fact nothing covering the entire stage, like a big white rectangle.
    Also, what is directly behind the .swf once it's on the Web page? If the background color of that page or the <div> that the .swf is in is white..... well then then .swf can have a transparent background but then the white from the Web page just shows thru.... so there's still a white background.
    Be sure there is a non-white background on the Web page...
    Window Mode (wmode) - What's It For?
    There are three window modes.
    Window
    Opaque
    Transparent
    By default, the Flash Player gets its own hWnd in Windows. This means that the Flash movie actually exists in a display instance within Windows that lives above the core browser display window. So though it appears to be in the browser window, technically, it isn't. It is most efficient for Flash to draw this way and this is the fastest, most efficient rendering mode. However, it is drawing independently of the browser's HTML rendering surface. This is why this default mode (which is equivalent to wmode="window") doesn't allow proper compositing with DHTML layers. This is why your JavaScripted drop-down menus will drop behind your Flash movie.
    In windowless modes (like opaque), Flash Player doesn't have a hWnd. This means that the browser tells the Flash Player when and where to draw onto the browser's own rendering surface. The Flash movie is no longer being rendered on a higher level if you will. It's right there in the page with the rest of the page elements. The Flash buffer is simply drawn into whatever rectangle the browser says, with any Flash stage space not occupied by objects receiving the movie's background color.

  • How can I make the background inactive when I show a popup in Windows phone 8.1..?

    I have created a popup in Windows phone 8.1. But the user can click buttons in the background. Can I disable this feature of popup...ie. I want the background to be unresponsive when popup is shown.
        How to achieve this....? 

    There are a couple ways to do this:
    If you set popup.IsLightDismissed = true, when the user taps the background, the background will be unresponsive when the user taps the background. HOWEVER, tapping the background will cause the popup to disappear immediately.
    When you open your popup, you can set Window.Current.Content.IsHitTestVisible = false, that should make the background untappable. However, you'll need to set .IsHitTestVisible back to true once the popup is closed, otherwise your app will be unresponsive
    until the user closes and restarts it. You can subscribe to the popup.Closed event to tell when the popup is closed.

  • How can I make the data persistent when using plist ?

    I have a UITableView table1. And when I touch any cell in the table a new UIViewController appears and it have two UITextField's name and description. After entering the data in both the text fields I used the save button to save them. In save method I wrote the code for the data to be stored in plist.
    -(void)save:(id)sender
    indexOfDataArray = temp;
    NSString *string1 = [[NSString alloc]init];
    NSString *string2 = [[NSString alloc]init];
    string1 = nameField.text;
    string2 = descriptionField.text;
    NSDictionary *myDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:string2, string1, nil];
    [myArray addObject:myDict];
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"VideoData.plist"];
    [myArray writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
    UIAlertView *alertMesage = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle: @"Save Alert" message:@"The data entered is saved" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil] ;
    [alertMesage show];
    [alertMesage release];
    [myArray retain];
    But the problem is every time I restart my application the data in the plist is deleted. How can I retain the data in the plist name I specified ?

    I think yes, I am specifying only one file name to store in the path. I understood my where I am wrong.
    If I added data in plist for two items(item1 and item2). And again I need to add next two items(item3 and item4) . How can I make item3 and item 4 do not replace item1 and item2 ?
    Thank You.

  • How can I make the stage height shorter by "cropping out" the bottom portion of the stage?

    Right now my stage dimensions are 980 X 800 px.  I need to cut or "crop out" the bottom portion of the footer because its height is too long.  So I changed the stage dimensions to 980 X 600 px (and changed the corresponding dimensions in the embed tag in the index.html file to match).  Doing this seems to cut out the bottom but at the same time adds space to the top and seems to distort the overall spacing.  Is there a simple way to crop out the bottom of the stage (just like cropping out a section of a photo)?

    Forgetting about the html file and embed tag for now, I can't seem to get the .swf proportioned properly in the first place.  I just want the bottom portion of the stage cropped out.  How do I do that without distorting the spacing?  When I tried to reduce the stage height, it doesn't simply crop out the bottom - it reduces the stage's height but it also seems to add space to the top and "squeezes" lines together, distorting the vertical spacing.
    Is there a way to simply crop out the bottom, just like cropping an image?

  • How do you make the volume louder when you export music from garageband?

    Hey everytime I export my music from garageband the volume seems to die down.. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you

    There's two things that are being called "volume": one is the output level of your audio file. Go to GB's preferences and see if the auto-normalize function is checked - if yes, it will automatically adjust the master volume so the maximum level of your output file is 0 dB. If you uncheck it, you can crank up your volume more, but your audio might clip in some places.
    The other thing is loudness – audio files with the same peak level have a very different perceivable loudness. That is a question of mastering, i.e. applying compressors and limiters to make the sound more "dense". But that's a whole different story.

  • How can I make the links work when the site is published.

    I am a new iWeb user and have built the website www.realmoroccotours.com and am having a few problems that I hope someone can help me with.
    First - in Iweb everything works fine but when it is published the links in the top and bottom menu do not work. If I clic on the link before the page is fully loaded it odes work. My host gave me the following information but I have no idea what it means or how to fix it. I have rebuilt the whole site but still the same thing happens.
    +> One of your javascript files that you have installed in the header of the main+
    +> page is blocking the screen with transparent image preventing links from+
    +> clicking. Please remove conflicting javascript and reload that page again.+
    Secondly, the site loads very slowly - although not all the time. Any suggestions on how to make it faster loading would be appreciated.

    All it means is that the image is blocking the navigation menu/overlapping - all you need to do is move it out of the way and the menu should work. Do a view all in iWeb and you can then see what is overlapping and what you need to move.
    You could also build your own nav menu if you like so that your site will be found more easily - javascript, which the iWeb menu is, is not always found that easily. You don't need to re-build the whole site - just the nav menu.
    If you want to speed up your site, then you could try using Web Crusher or iWeb Maestro to speed it up - you need to do this post publishing though, so publish to a local folder and then run it through either of these to get rid of the bloated code that iWeb creates and then upload your site.

  • How do I make the hyperlink underlined when I scroll over it?

    Hello!
    I'm having trouble with my hyperlinks changing color when I scroll over them so I decided to underline them instead. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
    Thanks!

    Never mind, I figured it out. It's the underlined "U" next to the color in the inspector, duh!

  • How do you make the keypad hide when talking?

    When I put the phone to my ear to talk, the keypad won't hide so I'm constantly accidentally muting myself. I've searched the settings and can't find how to fix this. Ideas?

    There is a sensor that detects when your phone is held to your ear and it turns off the display. If it isn't working either it is defective or your case is covering it. So the first step is to remove your case and see if that fixes the problem.

  • How can I make the "double hyphen" when hyphenatin usign the Brazilian Portuguese dictionary?

    The CS5 InDesign used to do what I am calling double hyphen. However since I started using the CS6 the Brazilian Portuguese dictionary does not recognize that function. In Portuguese when you have a word with as hyphen like diga-me it should be hyphenated like this:
    diga-
    -me
    The CS6 is hyphenating like this:
    diga
    -me
    I have tried to edit these kind of words in the dictionary but I couldn't include a hyphen in the editing box.
    Does anyone knows how can I fix this?
    Thank you

    just had same problem and find a solution, wich is very tricky:
    go to preferences / dictionary
    with the "Portuguese: Ortographic Agreement" selected, change "Hyphenation" from "Hunspell" to "Proximity":

  • How can I make the page scroll when highlighting

    I can only highlight to the bottom of the screen. Then I have to take that and paste it. Then I have to go back and highlight the rest and take it to be pasted.

    hello missdeezy, when i try this the page is scrolling further automatically when i get towards/beyond the bottom of the page with the mouse pointer - alternatively scrolling with the mousewheel, the arrow-key & the page-up/down-key works during text selection.
    in case this doesn't work for you, you may try to launch firefox in safe mode and see if you can replicate this behaviour there? if not, maybe an addon is interfering...

  • How do I make the slide "pause" when there are multiple buttons present?

    I'm creating a selection slide that will allow the user to click button 1, 2, 3 or 4 to jump to the first slide of a topic group or to click button 5 to exit.   The slide should just "stop" until any of the buttons are clicked.  Unfortunately, the slide ALWAYS goes to the jump for button 1 without waiting for any action.
    I've tried adding an invisible click box and an invisible text field with no success.
    What am I missing or doing incorrectly?
    Thanks in advance for any guidance.

    Hi there
    Yep, I can click the image and it scales back up.
    You need to look at the properties for your button objects. I can easily see on the timeline that you have apparently cleared the pause point for each of them. If they had a pause point, they might look like this:
