Saving SWF with Transparent Background - Possible?

I have made a box with a rounded corner and a border in Flash but when I publish the file the outer edge of the corner is still white and I want it transparent so it takes on the color of the website background. How can I get my background to be transparent?
Thanks

Thanks Ned.
In my properties settings there is no provision to set the background to "Transparent" so I left it at #111111. Then in my Publish Settings I set the Window Mode to "Transparent Window", but when I published it and previewed it in my website the background was still #111111.
Any idea what I did wrong?

Saving image with transparent background for web/Dreamweaver

How do I save a little image, so that the background stays transparent. I already have the image set up in Photoshop with a transparent background and have saved it as gif and png. When I import it into Dreamweaver the background stays white instead of transparent. What am I not doing right, since I read several posts saying that png and gif are the right formats to save in, if you want a transparent background?
Thanks for any help with this,
Anne

Well now that you have told me to save with some sort of an alpha channel, it works perfectly.
In CS5:
Select layer,"Composition,Make movie". Then navigate to "Output module" and choose an option that has "alpha channel" in the title.Choose a name for your project "Output to". I now use "lossless alpha".I don't know if that is the best one, but it seems to be working fine.
There is no "Quicktime" option in CS5 as in older versions of AE.
I was trying to save as a video in general or for photoshop and that just wasn't working out well.
I don't know what the "Frames to Layers import assistant" is that you mentioned though. I still tend to drag and drop, rather then import.
Thanks for your help.

Export SWF with Transparent Background.

I have used the text animation effects and want to put a swf into a current flash product, but it has to be alpha channel or clear background.
How do I export a clear background from AE CS3 or CS4 ?

Never mind, I pulled it into my project and it was already!

Illustrator cc image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background

as the title states; image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background...
i created a logo in adobe illustrator cc and i wanted to saved it for web in order to be able to copy and paste the logo where ever I wanted but the image looks extremely pixelated after saving as an png, and for web. Is there a solution for this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!!
Jon

What DPI did you save as:
You should always save as 300dpi, then you can always reduce the size as needed.
Another thing, don't copy and paste, that always causes that Problem.
In Acrobat you should open Tools Menu click on Content Editing the Add Image.
Then click on image and choose Properties and place where you want and size as you desire.

Saving image and layer separately with transparent background

I have a photo with a layer and I am trying to save two images (main photo and layer) with transparent background. I am able to save the main photo with transparent background but somehow not able to save the layer with transparent background despite selecting the option while saving as PNG. Any help will be appreciated?

OK... I'm probably not being clear.
When I import the PDF, I get a typical architect's line drawing as shown below. So the background is displaying as white. In Corel, when you save a GIF or a PNG, you can specify that -everything- that is the 'background colour' is rendered as transparent. IOW: there's no need to erase the 'white' pixels; they are auto-magically converted to transparent.
But in PS (CS4), no matter what I try, the rendered PNG or GIFs show as white, rather than transparent.
Is there a way to have this same behaviour in PS? Or do I first have to use the erase or background erase tools to get rid of the white?

Images with transparent backgrounds in MDM

I've got several images in MDM with transparent backgrounds, yet when i look at these in image manager (or thumbnails in data manager) they look terrible. The transparency is black for example, among other issues. These images are all okay in photoshop, they have been saved as .png and imported through the data manager.
Has this import ruined these image files on the way in? When my search engines etc extract the images, what of the transparencies?

Hi Adam,
MDM makes use of Internet Explorer quite frequently. I can imagine that this engine is also used to display images in MDM. However, Internet Explorer in version 6 does not support transparency in PNG images. That is why the black background occurs.
Since your images after upload are only saved in a binary object in the database, you should not encounter any data loss when using the same images. If you need to create variants, I would consider using Photoshop for the creation of those.
I hope that helps you further.
Best regards
Christian

Image with transparent background shows up with a white background in ID

Amateur needs help.
I have a copy of a logo with a transparent background. I made the (white) background transparent in PS by creating a layer from background and then selecting the white color in the background and deleting it. This has always worked in the past. But when I place this image into ID, it shows up with a white background. I have tried saving as a PSD, TIF, JPG, etc. I cannot get it to work.
I normally research these things until I find an answer, but I am on a tight deadline. Thanks!

I totally forgot to put that in my post. Yes, I am putting logos with transparent backgrounds in front of colored rectangles. That's how I noticed that this one logo is showing up with a white background. The weird thing is that the other two logos are fine. I did find a different version of this logo and this one works fine. The one that works fine is a JPG and the one that shows up with a white background is a JPG.

Combining 100 pngs with transparent background, vertically into one image PSE9

As the question suggests,
In PSE9 is it possible to combine 100+ PNG files (with identical dimensions & transparent background) into a single PNG file where the images are stacked vertically? and without trimming/cropping the transparent part of the image! I want to retain the exact original image dimensions so that they all stack neatly and precisely.
So far what I've tried is opening up the 100 PNG files in PSE9, create a new document with transparent background using the same width as the individual files and the height set to the individual file height multiplied by 100. (i.e. original image is 36 x 120 so the new file will be 36 x 12000) Then I get stuck! Whenever I drag a single file into the newly created document, it seems to be cropped to the image edges and no longer retains it's original height and width. Not to mention that hand dragging 100 files seems like a long-winded way of doing things... My automate button seems to be greyed out (so no contact sheet?) and I can't find any other automated process.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Please compare the resoultion of the two documents too. And a better way of arranging the layers would be to use distribute option in the move tool. You can find more about the move tool at http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/moving-copying-selections.html#main-pars_h eading_0
Thus your workflow would be:
Create a new document with the required dimension.
Use File>Place to place all your png files on the created document as layers
Use distribute option in move tool
A still better workflow would be to use put all the files in a folder and write an ExtendScript to read the files and place them as layers on the document of said dimension

Hi
I am having problems in publishing a file done in Flash- a
logo spinning,
and I want the background to be transparent. Under Publish
Settings, I have
the following:
ALPHA: Alpha-transparent
Layer: Auto
And checked the Flatten (Make self-contained).
However when I import the file into another application-
Apple�s Motion, I
get a white background- which is what I have originally. Am I
doing
something wrong?
I even check the track in QT Pro and set the Movie Properties
but it is not
becoming transparent. I appreciate any tips on it.
Thank you.
Kelvin

I've never gotten it to work either. I usually set the
background to something not used in the animation, like bright
green, and then composite the video. I've never used Motion, so I
don't know if this is possible.

How to use/create icons with transparent background ?

I would like to use icons with transparent background on JButtons, but I can't find how to do it. Until now, I've been using the ImageIcon class to create icons from GIF images. These images were created with MSPaint (sorry, I don't know what I could have used instead of that). Here is how I create my buttons :
bPencil = new JButton(new ImageIcon("Pencil.GIF"));What could I do to make the background transparent and/or what software could I use instead of M$Paint ?
P.S. : sorry if my question seems silly, but I'm a newbie in Java coding...

Transparent images are GIF (256 colours) and PNG (true-colour, half transparency).
You can store the image with your code, *.class files. You then even can deliver all inside a clickable, executable .jar file.
This kind of usage is called "resource," and hence use getResource like this:
    java.net.URL imgURL = getClass().getResource("pencil.gif");
    ImageIcon icon = null;
    if (imgURL != null) {
        icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL, description);
    }You can use paths.
There exist versions of MSPaint that easily loose their transparent colour on saving.
For GIFs try internet palettes, or try to save as PNG (recent version).
Start with a transparent image from elsewhere.

SWF movies Transparent BackGround for TV How?

I wanna run my SWF ADS Banner for TV with Transparent
Background, I am unable to do,
all Banners are runing with default white Background, How I
gonna solve that problem
I am using speacial video editing software: via builder ,
from here I transfer/export/republish the SWF file to file.via,
than from chracter genrater inscriber hardware that through
VB made program that display and complile the .via file to run on
TV screen, but in TV screen I wanna use trasparent BG of SWF,

You need to use a mask on the banner. This will make the rest
of the layers under the mask layer transparent.
So what you need to find is info on masking in flash, if the
ads move you will need to look for animated masking info.

How to insert image with transparent background?

I have several logos saved at .GIFs with transparent backgrounds that I would like to import into my dashboard, but it seems that the image component only supports JPEG. Is there a way to import images while maintaining their transparency?

Well, you CAN insert GIFs or other image formats. But I have yet to figure out a way to take a GIF with a transparent background and import it into my Xcelsius while preserving the transparency. The transparent background always just defaults to white.
This is a crucial feature as I have some logos I want to use that are circular. But if I can't give them a transparent background, it drastically limits their placement options.
I know that flash does support transparency, so am I missing something here?

Png files with transparent background show black only in firefox for android

I have a wix created site and png files with transparent backgrounds are showing with a black blackground in Firefox for Android. They show transparent in all other browsers I have tried.
I have tried saving the file as a gif, as a smaller png, interlaced, not interlaced, png 8, png24. It still shows black in Firefox for Android.

Hi evelswoman,
Thank you for your question. This sounds like a good one for the web compatibility team. Currently there are some compatibility documentation for background-image here: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background-image] and more details on background: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background]
Filling a bug with webcompat.com with an example url can go a long way as well, I hope this helps.

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.
Vinod Kumar.K.V

from "Render and export a composition as an FLV or F4V file":
"To include the alpha channel in the FLV output, use the On2 VP6 codec and select Encode Alpha Channel in the Video tab of the export settings dialog box."

Photos with transparent background weird issue in album

There is something very strange happening
What I did
I saved two images that had transparent background
When I view it in my photo album the thumbnail shows the image but for the "background" it is some other random photo that isn't even in my camera roll! It just shows up only when I save these images with transparent background. This happened for two images and the photos showing up are different (from the same night because I can see who is in it).
When I view these images larger, the background photos do not appear , so it is very strange
I took a screen shot of this too and would like to send to apple support

I would not really expect AppleTv to handle transparency in an image, though maybe it does and this is some kind of bug.
I would regard transparency handling as a non-basic feature to be honest, one that the majority of users will not expect to use or use.
Does iPhoto handle transparency properly?
Send feedback to:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
It may be something they can add fairly easily, but it may not either.
Don't expect a reply from that link.
