Transparent background instead of color for stage

Is there a way to set the background color for the stage to transparent instead of a color? I only see color as options when clicking in property manager for the background.

By default there is no background color with wmode="transparent" set. You may just be a victim of browser cache. Clear your cache as flash has a nasty habit of staying in there a while. What that does is tell the browser that you should be able to see through the flash piece in the browser.
Mind you, flash doesn't always play nicely in all browsers. Sometimes you expect content to render 'over' flash (drop-down menu or such) and the browser still shows the flash item 'over' the menu. This is normal.
If you're exporting a projector, you cannot export a projector with a transparent background. You will need an extension to flash projectors such as MDM Zinc or Screentime mProjector (Zinc is preferred). They can export transparent projectors (as well as a ton more).
Any time you load a SWF inside another, the background will ALWAYS be transparent as well. The document background property has absolutely no effect on this. If you want a background you explicitly have to put a background layer in your SWF to have one.

  • How do I get a transparent background on the down level stage?

    How do I get a transparent background on the down level stage?

    I haven't tested this, but in your xxx_edge.js file, it looks like the stage background color is set here:
    states: {
          "Base State": {
             "${_Stage}": [
                ["color", "background-color", 'rgba(255,255,255,1)'],
                ["style", "overflow", 'hidden'],
                ["style", "height", '400px'],
                ["style", "width", '550px']
    Try changing the last value in the rgba value from 1 to 0.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background (instead of default black backgr

    Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background to  overlay on another video in another program.  probably export as avi.     I know I can in after effects  but comfortable with premiere.   basically want to turn the greenscreen from a black to transparent background  ppro cs6     windows
    [ email address removed by forum host ]

    Harm is correct. It would be better to edit in the program where you keyed out the green. However, if you really must ...
    DPX is one file per frame. While you may not be able to open it from Windows, it is only because Windwos has not been told to open them in Photoshop.
    The whole point of the DPX file is to have a visually lossless storage of your frames that is designed to be used between applications (just what you want to do): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Picture_Exchange
    However, if you prefer to use another option that you are more comfortable with, you can use PNG.
    Or...
    If you insist on a single video, use the Animation codec for Quicktime.
    In any case, you need a picture format or video CODEC that can store an Alpha Channel.
    Or.....
    Export the video with the black and use a Luma key in the next application.
    Or ...
    Export the video with the black, and then export a video of just the alpha channel as a blabk and white image where black is transparent when used as a track matte, and then in the next application use the video of the alpha channel as a track matte.
    Since you haven't said what the other application is or why you want to use it, we are having a little trouble offering a specific solution.

  • Background image instead of color for each sliding panel

    I'm working with sliding panels and trying to add some style to the page.  I have figured out how to put a different background color on each slide and even how to put a background image on the whole thing, but  I cannot figure out how to use multiple images (one for each pannel). When I put the images in place of the colors it works fine in the Dreamweaver screen but totally disapears in a web browser.  Here is the url:    http://www.centerofdiscovery.com/the_center_of_discovery_home_page.html
    any help would be great!

    Regarding getting the tabs to sit on top of the content panel, speaking generally here, make the containing div for both the tabs and the content panel to have a margin: 0 auto; setting.This is for horizontal alignment.
    The blue rectangle can be belayed by setting border: none; on the specific rule that applies to the "a" links within that container. It is an indication that there is a link there.
    Please rename the images that have word-spaces in their file names. Some browsers react badly to word-spaces.
    I see that you have
    <p>
      </p><div class="slidingpanelandtab">
        <blockquote>
          <p><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(0); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" class="oneColFixCtrHdr" src="Images/panneltab.jpg"/></a><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(1); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" src="Images/panneltabb.jpg"/></a><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(2); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" src="Images/panneltaba.jpg"/></a><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(3); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" src="Images/panneltabc.jpg"/></a></p>
        </blockquote>
    Which sets off your "slidingpanelandtab" class div with an empty paragraph space <p></p> and then sets off the next section not only with <p></p> paragraph spacing but also with a <blockquote></blockquote>, which will by all rights indent that element.
    I suggest that you get rid of the spurious paragraph tags and the blockquote; that should tighten up your spacing.

  • Make imported jpg in Ai CS5 have transparent background instead of white

    I have been looking around the forums and help pages, but I can not seem to find my answer.  Maybe I am using the wrong terminology?
    In Adobe Illustrator CS5 I have imported a jpg into my artboard.  The jpg has a white background.  I would like to make the background of the imported jpg transparent.  How do I do that?  Thanks.
    P.S. I do realize that jpgs do not allow transparency, but its the art piece I have to work with.

    Go with a format as Monika suggest that asupports transparency .psd, .tif, .png, .pdf.
    If you do not have phothsop, you coudl use the transparency palette to create one in Illustrator (see the reverse looking thumbnail, to the right of the blue splat thumbail)

I've seemed to of figured it out. what I did was>merge all visible layers(except for the background layer),>command and click on the layer to select all>flatten image>command j>deselect> and then delete the flatten layer. this gave me the transparent background I was looking for." but it didn't help me.  Please help!         

    Hello Jeff a Wright,
    The version of Photoshop I am using is Photoshop CS5.1.  Whenever I flatten an image, it makes a white background, and gets rid of my transparent background.

  • Making an animation with transparent background.

    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?

  • Photoshop-how to print white letters on transparent background

    I would like to print white letters on a transparent background.  The color white is selected, but it doesn't print print.  I have a logo with a circle and the letters are inside.  I have tried this in both photoshop and photoshop elements.
    Originally, I wanted a white circle with black letters.  The black letters print, but not the circle.  The circle is filled with pure white.  Then I tried the inverse and the black letters printed and not the white circle.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    One thing more, in the event that you are considering offset lithography, the lithographer, on occasion, is asked to print white ink on colored paper stock. In that case, since a single litho ink film is only 1 to 2 microns in thickness, it usually takes two or more overprints of white to hide the paper color. Moreover, when a simulated white panel is requested  on white coated stock, it is not unusual to print the panel in gloss or dull varnish so that the difference in shine creates the panel.

  • 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:

    It may be something they can add fairly easily, but it may not either.

  • Add ability to select background display color for transparent areas of image

    Right now the background color for images with an alpha channel if always white.  This makes Bridge useless for sorting through images where the primary color is white.  It also looks like crap when you are doing a slideshow preview on a black background.  It is only useful for people who do web page designs on a white webpage, but even then you can't tell if the image is cut out properly if it was cut from a white background.  The only way to check an image is to load it into Photoshop and create a background layer, which is pretty slow for previewing an entire directory of images.  The ability to set the alpha channel background color has been available for years in competing programs such as Thumbs+ so I am dumbfounded that it isn't yet in Bridge CS4.

    Agreed! Even primitive Mac Finder preview can show transparent alpha channel! Most Image browsing programs have this ability. Bridge CS4 is becomming finally usable, but this feature is a must!

  • Slice transparency on save single slice / background color for artboard

    Hi,
    I know, I am missing something obvious in Illustrator CS5 here:
    - how do I set the transparency for a slice(e.g. for a red background color)?
    - how do I set the background color for a particular artboard?
    Greetings
    Michael Kastner

    1. differs depending on the format you want to export. For GIFs, use "Save for Web and Devices"
    2. Draw a rectangle on the artboard in the desired color.

  • Remove a background color for transparency

    Greetings,
    I have an image with flattened layers and is a PNG image for the web.  I need to select only the white background and remove it for transparency.

    Use the magic eraser tool if there is no white adjacent to the background .  You will want to choose contiguous.  If there is white in the main part of the photo adjacent to the background, use a selection tool to choose where to apply the magic eraser.

  • How to give Common Background color for all JPanels in My Swing application

    Hi All,
    I am developing a swing application using The Swing Application Framework(SAF)(JSR 296). I this application i have multiple JPanel's embedded in a JTabbedPane. In this way i have three JTabbedPane embedded in a JFrame.
    Now is there any way to set a common background color for the all the JPanel's available in the application??
    I have tried using UIManager.put("Panel.background",new Color.PINK);. But it did not work.
    Also let me know if SAF has some inbuilt method or way to do this.
    Your inputs are valuable.
    Thanks in Advance,

    It is not the fault of NetBeans' GUI builder, JPanels are opaque by default, I mean whether you use Netbeans or not.Thank you!
    I stand corrected (which is short for +"I jumped red-eyed on my feet and rushed to create an SSCCE to demonstrate that JPanels are... mmm... oh well, they are opaque by default... ;-[]"+)
    NetBeans's definitely innocent then, and indeed using it would be an advantage (ctrl-click all JPanels in a form and edit the common opaque property to false) over manually coding
    To handle this it would be better idea to make a subclass of JPanel and override isOpaque() to return false. Then use this 'Trasparent Panel' for all the panels where ever transparency is required.I beg to differ. From a design standpoint, I'd find it terrible (in the pejorative sense of the word) to design a subclass to inconsistently override a getter whereas the standard API already exposes the property (both get and set) for what it's meant: specify whether the panel is opaque.
    Leveraging this subclass would mean changing all lines where a would-be-transparent JPanel is currently instantiated, and instantiate the subclass instead.
    If you're editing all such lines anyway, you might as well change the explicit new JPanel() for a call to a factory method createTransparentJPanel(); this latter could, at the programmer's discretion, implement transparency whichever way makes the programmer's life easier (subclass if he pleases, although that makes me shudder, or simply call thePanel.setOpaque(false) before returning the panel). That way the "transparency" code is centralized in a single easy to maintain location.
    I had to read the code for that latter's UI classes to find out the keys to use (+Panel.background+, Label.foreground, etc.), as I happened to not find this info in an authoritative document - I see that you seem to know thoses keys, may I ask you where you got them from?
    One of best utilities I got from this forum, written by camickr makes getting these keys and their values very easy. You can get it from his blog [(->link)|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/uimanager-defaults/]
    Definitely. I bit a pair of knucles off when discovered it monthes after cumbersomely traversing the BasicL&F code...
    Still, it is a matter-of-fact approach (and this time I don't mean that to sound pejorative), that works if you can test the result for a given JDK version and L&F, but doesn't guarantee that these keys are there to stand - an observation, but not a specification.
    Thanks TBM for highlighting this blog entry, that's the best keys list device I have found so far, but the questions still holds as to what specifies the keys.
