Placed swf - transparent background

Is there any way to make background of placed swf transparent in interactive pdf?
I know tak I can make background transparent in Acrobat after exporting but I have many placed swf.
Maybe some Java Scripoting in Acrobat? Every sugestion is valuable for me...
By the way - why Adobe could not put a small switch in Media Panel: "transparent background"?
Lack of such small feature is big pain in the a..
sorry for my English

Sorry, no. The properties of a rich media annotation are not editable using scripts.

  • Publishing to .SWF - Transparent backgrounds

    I'm still using Beta II of Flash Catalyst so this issue might have already been resolved. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to get a transparent background when publishing a swf in Catalyst. For example in Flash you can go into Publish Settings and check transparent background. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

    Unfortunately, I found out after producting an entire web site in Catalyst to have a transparent background, (so that the complicated bg with shadowing I created in Fireworks would show behind it), that this doesn't work, or at least it didn't when I tried it.
    I like to use rounded or shadowed photos/graphics as my page background overlay, floating above a tiled textured graphic. I'm not a big fan of square pages and page items or flat colored areas, and I like to create depth in my pages and applications. It took days to rework the css template and line up the swf using CSS to perfectly fit over the background, as well as resize and realign the FC page and pieces (which will clear interaction settings if you don't do it the long way).
    I am seriously disappointed/irritated that this is the only program in the design suite that for some stupid reason has no ability to export with transparency. If it can be done in flash, it shouldn't be complicated to apply the same techniques to FC. Then again, Macromedia originally created Flash and Fireworks. Maybe when Adobe bought the company some of the people they lost were the programmers who actually knew what they were doing. That would explain the ram intensive nature of FC over Flash and Fireworks. Hopefully someone comes out with an add-on to solve the issue. Until then, I can't create any round or shadowed applications/wbe sites in FC when using a textured background.

  • How do I transfer a .psd file to illustrator that can then be placed in Muse as a .svg with transparent background?

    I just wrote all this up in another thread.  I did not realize at the time that the last post was in 2014, so I'm giving it a go here.
    I am currently trying to create an .svg using Photoshop .psd file (with layers in tact).  I'm new to these products so it may be obvious to others that the above intention was to eventually place the .svg in some sort of website creation software such as Muse.  Which is precisely what I am attempting. However, I am getting a white background once I place or copy and paste into Muse.  My starting .psd has a transparent background without any hidden layers causing this problem.  To test this I placed the .psd file into Muse and it still has a transparent background.  However when opening or placing this file into illustrator, it picks up a white background. If I do exactly as described above, I still get the same result.  So far I have tried:
    1) Simple copy and paste from Photoshop .svg to illustrator to Muse.  Result - white background.
    2) Placing the .psd in illustrator, then placing the .svg file in muse.  Result - white background.
    4) I have also tried the every combination of 1 and 2. - Result - white background.
    3) I have now created a path in Photoshop from the text layer to yet again attempt the above methods.  Result - white background.
    I'm including an image of the object I am trying to place with transparent background, but I have both a flattened rasterized version, a version complete with layers and a third (.svg) with the corresponding objects.  I am completely new to Illustrator as of today so any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
    Link to .psd file "Welcome text"

    I was having some difficulties getting the correct dimensions of one of my objects, I eventually solved this problem without using svg.  It was pretty simple when I stopped trying to over complicate things.  I just linked the object to a near by object in photoshop, merged and placed it all as one.  It looks great now.  Thanks for your reply.  You are correct, SVG was not the answer.

  • Creating a transparent background with a SWF file for Export to Air

    I have been trying to place a SWF with a transparent background into an image component and use as a background for a widget. When I place the swf (just a simple single frame swf file) and output with any other method the background works perfectly. If I output to air then the background is a white rectangle with only a progress bar the stays at 0%. I have tried to not embed it but I get a broken link icon in the same rectangle.
    What am I missing? Should the swf file have some special setting that I am missing?
    I am using Xcelsisus 2008 with SP1 and FP1.
    Thank you for any assistance.

    While there is no means to be sure about the method in which SAP/BO creates their components. My assumption is that the component uses the WindowedApplication or an HTMLLoader object(more likely) to display each SWF file.
    If this is the case then it is a known limitation in Adobe Air that we may be able to overcome by trying out the methods described in the following link:   [Air Transparency Help|http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e09.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a452d-7fe5]

  • Why does placed eps file containing a drop shadow lose transparent background?

    When I place an eps file from adobe illustrator cs6, which has a drop shadow, into InDesign the file loses its transparent background and comes in with a solid white background. I'v selected the "Transparent" radial button in Illustrator while saving the file to eps but it doesn't work. Any ideas???

    EPS means Encapsulated PostScript (it's really PostScript code wrapped up in a capsule that allows you to place it into other applications as an image), and the PostScript specification doesn't include transparency. That's why even though you have transparency in the Illustrator image, it's format won't translate that transparency data into usable transparency when you place it into InDesign. Lack of transparency support is one of the main reasons people recommend not using eps in a modern workflow.

    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?

    I placed a psd file with transparent background on another layer in my InDesign document. The layer below has a color (RGB). When the psd file is placed it changes the color on the layer below. I've tried other psd files thinking something is wrong with my file, but get the same result. I have tried for days to figure this out. Can anyone help me?

  • How to Export with Transparent Background

    I have created a logo in Freehand 10, and I need to export it
    as an EPS with a transparent background to place in an InDesign
    document. How do I export the file with a transparent background?
    Thanks!
    -Elisha

    > Please excuse my lack of experience, but can you please
    explain what you mean
    > by "without screen image"?
    In general contents of eps files (encapsulated postscript)
    cannot be viewed with layout programs and alike. Therefore a screen
    image must be included for placing. When the document is printed to
    a postscript printer or exported as pdf the screen image is omitted
    and the postscript code is used. In this case it is not 'What you
    see is what you get' but "What you get is what you can't see'.
    In Windows the screen image has always been a opaque bitmap
    image but in mac screen image can be 'clipped'. In both platforms,
    however, the postscript output is the same i.e. without background.

    upgrade to Illustrator CS3.
    I'm not sure if InDesign CS2 can show contents of eps files,
    both Mac and Windows. I just tried exporting eps and ai from
    FreeHand and they worked well in Windows InDesign CS3.
    Usually eps file without screen image appear as white box and
    all the images as grey boxes if Disply Performance is set to Fast
    Disply in InDesign. So check InDesign display settings.
    Also try to export eps with a screen image.
    If the logo is simple with just outline objects it can be
    copypasted into InDesign as well. In FreeHand 'copy special' and
    select the clipboard format.

  • Framing image with transparent background png frame

    hi,
    i'm trying to find a way to frame images with transparent background png frames...
    what i'm doing now is
    1-drawing my image on a panel
    2-creating a 2nd image using the frame's filename, stretching this 'frame-image' to a size slighlty larger than that of my main image and drawing the 'frame-image'
    the problems with this method are:
    1-depending on the width of the frame, the frame sometimes hides parts of the image (thick frame), and sometimes there is a gap between the frame and the image (thin frame).
    2-if the image file containing the frame is larger than the frame (Ex: The image is 300x300, the frame is centered in this image and is 200x200; as opposed to the image is 200x200 and the frame takes up all the space), when i position the 'frame-image' near the top left corner of the image i want to frame, the frame appears at the wrong place (shifted down and to the right). This is due to the fact that i'm placing the top corner of the created 'frame-image' and not the frame, who is not in the top corner of my 'frame-image'.
    Is there a way to do what i'm trying to do???
    My ideas (which i don't know how to achieve are)
    1-To 'analyse' my transparent background png file and
         1-only keep the frame,
         2-calculate the frame's thickness
    OR
    2-Let java do the analyzing for me and tell it to frame my image with the frame in the png file
    please feel free to ask for more explanations if my description/question is confusing,
    thanks.

  • SWF transparency in IE9-Vista. Nightmare.

    I have scoured the web looking for expert input on this issue and sadly I can find none. I am laughable when it comes to Flash, my ability is poor at best. But I have about 6 websites I've made over the last few years, most of which have simple swf files embedded into the html via the <script><noscript> method using the AC_RunActiveContent script. Two of them have nav menus made with Flash, their displaying properly is DEPENDENT on their having transparent backgrounds. The use of "wmode" and "transparent" in the param and embed tags has always worked for me, until now, and the only problem is when the sites are viewed in IE9 running on Win Vista. My main work computer is Win 7 with the 5 major browsers, including IE9, which displays swf transparency fine across all browsers. Recently I went to my wife's office where there are three machines with Windows Vista +IE9.. and one with Windows XP + IE8. The sites display properly as they always have on XP. But on the machines that have Vista OS with the updated IE9 browser, there is a BLACK BOX bg on every swf file of every web page I've ever built. My most recent Flash embed was done with Dreamweaver CS4 and its different embedding method, no <noscript> tags, and different js files. No matter whether I embed the swf with the AC-RunActiveContent.js method or the swfobject_modified.js method of CS4, when I view my pages pages containing Flash objects on Vista machines with IE9, there is that horrible black box background behind the swf.
    My first couple of sites were primitive at best, all tabled html, but at least the Flash content displayed the way I wanted it to. I wanted to know if there is a way to embed these swf objects differently so that viewers with Vista + IE9 will see the transparency properly. I know there has to be a way, but my limited knowledge has not found it yet. I would appreciate any input from people who know the ropes. Thanks.

    I just noticed something else interesting. Since I know my code skills are poor, I wanted to find a site with PROPERLY embedded swf object on an html page, just to see if it had the same issue as what I'm experiencing when viewing on IE9-Vista. I went to nedwebs.com and it displays fine, but your site is a flash site, so it's not a true comparison to an html page with swf on the page. Then I found this TUTORIAL page, showing the "proper" way to embed a transparent flash object on an html page. The url is here, go look at the animated leaves swf file on this page to see what it is SUPPOSED to look like ...
    http://www.aleosoft.com/flashtutorial_transparent.html  
    Now look at the screen shot I have attached. This is how a "properly" embedded transparent swf displays on IE9 with Vista OS.
    You're supposed to see a back-image as well as text through the leaves. On IE9-Vista you see none of this, only BLACK behind the swf, and just the left edge of the back image.

  • Exporting text with a semi transparent background that can be changed in PS or PP?

    I'm creating a logo with a semi transparent background that I want to place on top of photos in Photoshop and videos in Premiere.
    1. I do not see a transparent option when exporting as a .tiff. Is transparent .png my only option from AI?
    2. I will need different amounts of transparency for the background depending on the image or video it is being placed on. Is there a way to export this and still have control in Photoshop or Premiere of the amount of transparency to apply towards the background?
    Thanks!

    1. So you are suggesting to just copy from AI and paste into PS?
    2. Since the logo is text and the background is a rectangular shape, I need to make sure that I can lower the opacity in PS or PP independently of the text. I will have to do a test later, I do not have the file on this computer.
    Thanks.

  • Question about images with transparent backgrounds in inDesign

    Hi,
    I've recently switched from Quark to inDesign CS5.5, and I'm trying to figure out how to do something that was easy in Quark but doesn't seem to work in iD. I'd like to colorize a greyscale image that has a transparent background. In Quark, I could import it as a TIF and then specify different colors for the image and background (which I could specify to be transparent). In iD, seems that the transparency needs to be included in Photoshop (which wasn't the case in Quark; the method worked for any greyscale TIF), and that I need to chage the color of the in original image if I want to keep that transparency. Also, from what I've read, the imported image works better as a PSD.
    Is this correct? Does the transparency and color need to be specified in Photoshop for me to have a transparent image? (The image is too complex to include a clipping path, and it's being placed on a photographic background, so I can't simply change the bckground image to a solid color to make it blend in).
    If this is the case, it's really disappointing--I was able to get some great effects in Quark using the other method. I hope I'm misunderstanding what to do, or there's some kind of workaround.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    --Harriet

    ID will only colorize non-transparent grayscales or bitmap mode images. If you don't need continuous tone, saving in Bitmap mode will render the white areas transparent when you colorize ( if the frame itself has no fill color, else that fill color will show), but that's not much good if you need a true grayscale. Changing the blending mode of a colorized grayscle to Multiply will cause white areas to be come transparent, but other areas will multiply over any background, which may not be what you want, either.

  • Trying to import files with transparent backgrounds into Premier Elements 10

    I am struggling to import files from Photoshop CS3 into Premier Elements 10 and preserve their transparent background. I have tried .png (8 and 24 bit), .gif and .psd files. I have tried rasterizing the type layer before "Saving for web and devices" but can't get anything to work. The imported files end up as either text on a white background (.gif) or the file imports as a black background with no type visible (.png and .psd). I have read a few forums but can't find any suggestions beyond what I have already tried. I also get the same problem if I "Save for web and devices" out of Illustrator.
    Any suggestions much appreciated.

    You have brought up one very interesting maintaining transparency question which I feel goes more to the trigger on the
    Premiere Elements Videomerge pop up than to the Photoshop CS2 Save As with or without a check mark for Maximum Compatibility
    And, I find that Photoshop CS5.1 as well as CS2 involvement in this matter is the same.
    I created three 720 x 480 pixels documents, each with a blue colored circle on a transparent background in
    Photoshop CS2 and saved each
    psd with check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
    psd with no check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
    png
    Each of them was imported into a NTSC DV Standard Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit project.
    Each triggered the Premiere Elements 11 Videomerge pop up.
    If I checked No for the program request to apply Videomerge, then all 3 results were the same, that is,
    the area around the circle was transparent and the circle was not...just the way it was created in Photoshop CS2.
    So, why was the Videomerge message telling me "Clip being dropped contains solid background color" when
    it had transparency represented by black and did not have a solid background color?
    Even more interesting was what happened if I selected Yes to the program's request to
    apply Videomerge to create transparency for what it claimed to be seeing as "solid background color".
    The result was the same for all three cases, that is, the inside content of the circle became transparent
    and the "black background" became a "solid color".
    Videomerge is not one of my preferred Premiere Elements options.
    To avoid the Videomerge pop up, I would suggest placing a check mark next to the "Do not show again.",
    followed by No in the Videomerge pop up. When you do, you should not be confused by the activities of the
    Videomerge pop up activities and you should have no problems with the maintenance of the Photoshop
    created transparency in the Premiere Elements project.
