Certain objects are transparent in flash movie

I've been getting reports from users that certain objects are invisible in my flash banner. The browser culprit is IE 8 (but someone also reported seeing this in IE 6). I have been unable to duplicate this and therefore, find it very difficult to troubleshoot. I do have the Wmode set to transparent, but I've made it opaque and still had the "invisible" reports. Here is the site:

The objects reported as invisible are the robot's body and head. If someone out there can see this and give me a clue, it would be very helpful.
Thanks!

First guess here is that some elements may require a certain version of the player, and they don't have it!

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.
Im using transparent png as tile in stage background and changed parameter in html file - so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
The presentation is in:
http://intersiec.com.pl/captivate/index.html
The source file:
http://intersiec.com.pl/captivate/szkolenie.cptx
Can You help me make whole presentation background transparent?
Best regards,
Kamil

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

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).

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.

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.

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!

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."

Movies with transparent backgrounds don't display in KN4

In KN4, movies with transparent backgrounds (such as the countdown timers sold by KeynoteUser.com) no longer display when the show is presented. They clearly function when creating the slide, but not during presentation. I'm running the show on a MacBook Core Duo with 10.4.10 and GMA 950 graphics chips with 64 MB VRAM. This might be an issue with the GMA graphics chip although the movies worked perfectly with KN3 and earlier. Has anyone else observed this problem?

The Keynote 4.0.1 update has fixed this problem. Thanks Apple!

How to I move gif with transparent background to jpg background?

I am using the Master Squite CS 5.5 trail on Windows XP Pro with SP3. I am not a Photoshop expert, but have done a fair amount for work with iit.
I am trying to build some headers for websites and I know how to combine JPG images and text to ceate a header image.
Now I have a couple of logos that I got in JPG format, converted them to GIF and made the backgrounds transparent.
The "Move" tool doesn't seem to allow me to drag and drop a GIF image with a transparent background onto a JPG header background. I tried converting the JPG header background to a GIF image too, but it won't let me move the transparent image to this background.
I really need to get this to work somehow to create the professional look I want.
Thanks!

Your mistake is in assuming you need GIF anywhere in the process.
Try this instead: Paste your logo JPEG over the background as a separate layer, then remove the pixels you want to be transparent by either Deleting them or Masking them.

How do I maintain a transparent background when I convert to movie

I am editing video so I can embed it into a web page and I want to maintain a transparent background when I convert the video. When I convert now it is putting in a black background automatically. I know it's probably an ez fix,please help!
Thanks

Rendering prior to export will create a black background, I believe.
That is typically true. The key workaround is to switch the Compressor value in your Sequence Settings to Animation then, in the Advanced Settings, alter Depth to Millions of Colors+.
Now when you render, you'll render out with an alpha channel. This way, you can export reference movies via File > Export > QT Movie, using Current Settings and import your FCP-created movie into AE, Motion, LiveType, etc on your same system and be able to maintain your alpha.
I add this only because depending on the workflow, it's sometimes more efficient to render in FCP.

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.

Import Motion 5 movie into iMovie 11 with transparent background

I'm trying to import a movie from Motion 5 into iMovie 11 with a transparent background. iMovie goes through the expected dialog boxes but the actual movie doesn't appear in the events window. I know this is possible to do as I've been able to import the indymogul transporter effect movie (http://www.indymogul.com/transport) and use in iMovie 11 without too many problems.
The movie is "PAL DV" with a transparent background and I've tried all the combinations of "alpha, color, alpha + color, etc.".
Has anyone been able to do this?
many thanks,

Hi I am looking for clarification before buying the motion software.
@dale , Is it possible to create animated graphics and text with a transparent background, that can then be overlayed ontop of my Imovie projects using the Picture in Picture option?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Export Movie with Transparent Background

I created a lower third from a PNG with a transparent background. I brought that into FCPX and animated it. Now I want to export it and create a movie with a transparent background so I can use the animated lower third in other projects. I can't seem to find a way to make the movie's background transparent. How do I do that?
Thanks, Happy New Year!

Thank you very much!

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.
