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).

Captivate/Flash Movie Starts Automatically

I'm learning to use RoboHelp X5 and tried placing an .swf
(Flash movie) that I created with Captivate within my WebHelp. In
Captivate I added a playback control bar (forward, pause, play,
etc.), which works great standalone. However, after generating the
WebHelp, when I view the page that the movie is on, the movie
starts automatically---actually it waits about 8 seconds, but then
just starts. I would expect the person viewing the movie to have to
use the playback control to manually start the movie. Is there an
option somewhere that I need to turn on/off?
Thanks,
John

Hi John and welcome to the community
There are two ways I'm aware of that can be used to
accomplish this.
The first and possibly simplest way is to simply insert a
click box at the very beginning of the movie. By default, click
boxes are configured to pause the movie until the user interacts by
clicking the click box area. Actually, if you are presenting your
movie in .EXE format, I believe this is the only way you can
accomplish it.
The second way is to configure the HTML code used in the HTML
Companion page. Obviously this only works if you are presenting
your movie in .SWF format and using the companion HTML page to
display the movie.
Captivate creates the following code when you create Flash
(SWF) output and select the Export HTML option.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01

If you amend this code by inserting <param name="play"
value="false" /> and play="false", you achieve the goal of
displaying the movie in a "paused to begin with" state.
Amended code is below

Exporting the flash movie with all the associated files linked in?

Hey guys i have a movie that has a swf player practically on every page playing a number of different videos.
When I export it usually and play it on another computer the flash file won't play the videos as they simply are not there!
Is there a way I can export the file, play it on any computer and still see the videos?
Thanks
Steph! xx

If you build the video into the swf file rather than loading it dynamically it should play on any computer that has the Flash Player. Or if you load it all to a server then you can test it online using any machine that has internet access. Otherwise you need to bring the videos along with the swf when you test it on other machines.

Transparent Background Video in Flash

I have the need to use a lot of green screen video on the

describe how to do this?
Thanks,

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.

Captions w/Transparent Background Don't Show when Published

HELP! I've put together two captivates that on some slides
contain text on which I chose transparent background. They are not
showing up at all! I'm working in v3. Has anyone else come across
this?

GeekygURL, thanks for the suggestions. I double checked all
of this once you outlined it... The text is black, on white part of
the background of the movie. There is nothing else layered even
anywhere close. and the timing is that it's due to show up with no
delay, and show for the remainder of the slide.
I've developed quite a few flash animations with Captivate,
even with the quiz functionality... I'm generally quite technically
savvy and this is just leaving me baffeled. Anything else you might
suggest?
Oh, just to add... this is only with captions with the
transparent background... the others are all showing and timing
correctly. :(
Thanks, in advance, for everyones help!

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).

Can't export transparent background

When I export a Motion 5 movie with a transparent background, the background appears black in the exported movie. Here are my settings (view below). How do I export a transparent background from Motion 5?

Not all codecs support transparency, this includes H.264. You will want to use ProRes 4444.

Layering Flash Movies in Dreamweaver

I have one swf in an html page. I have another swf file in a
layer on top of the other with a transparent background. When one
movie overlaps the other, it flashes on and off. Does anyone know
why or how to prevent this?
In IE, the swf file in the layer actually goes below the
movie in the html page.

You could use layers and swap the layers when they click on
the buttons.

Reposition element and transparent background

I am trying to reposition a flash element.
Go to www.newtechnologies2000.com/badgeflash2.html.
I would like the badge and the cup in the center to be centered in the blue flash background. Cannot figure out how to do it.
Also, I would like the blue flash background to be transparent, so the web page can showup around the badge.
How can I do this?
I have attached the .fla and .swf.
EDIT-I was able to reposiiton the element, not sure why what I did earleir did not work. Still need to know how to have a transparent background on the flash.

click file/publish settings/html and set "window mode" for transparent windowless.

Resize flash movie.

Hi friends,
Actually my doubt concerns with resizing a flash movie when a browser resizes. The flash movie is a slide show. In flash I have scripted to resize the image using onResize event. Also it's working finely when opening on flash CS3. But when I opened the same on a browser and resizes the browser, the flash component is not resizing. Can I use any javascipt function for this purpose. If so can anyone describe, how it could be. Because I don't have any idea on javascript.
Thanks and Regards,

I generally put the whole slide/page into a movie clip and use this code on resize to center it. In your case I would use the same code but inside the listener fire a function call where you'll resize each item?
//===========================================================
// size listener
//===========================================================
pageSizeListener = new Object();
pageSizeListener.onResize = function() {
mainPage._x = Stage.width / 2;
//pageMC._y = Stage.height / 2;
mainBackground._x = Stage.width / 2;
Stage.addListener(pageSizeListener);
pageSizeListener.onResize();

How to remove all slide notes in a project at once

Hi All,
I've some problem on removing slide note. I recently know how to remove slide note "one by one" method on captivate 8 but if I want to remove all slide notes at once, How can I do?
Anybody know about this?

Hi there,
At present there is no option present in Captivate to delete the all slide notes at once. Please use the below link and file feature request for the same so that we can consider it for the future releases.
