Wmode transparent not working

I'm testing two methods to avoid the flash animation from
being on top of the menus, this:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
width="466" height="357">
<param name="movie" value="flash/L3anim.swf">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="flash/L3anim.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="466"
height="357"></embed>
</object>
and this:
<div id="mainflash" style="border:1px solid #636569;
padding:3px; width:466px; height:357px; position:relative;
top:27px">
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var fo = new FlashObject("flash/L3anim.swf", "mainflash",
"466", "357", "7", "#FFFFFF");
fo.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
fo.write("mainflash");
</script>
</div>
But none of them seem to work on firefox 2 when using a mac,
can anyone give me a definitive solution for this?

For the first method you need to add the attribute
*wmode="transparent"*
to the embed tag.
For the second method (for which you must be using v1.5 of
SWFObject)
you need to change your fo.addParam("wmode", "opaque"); from
*opaque* to
*transparent*.

Flash wmode="transparent" not working in IE

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to make my swf transparent in IE. I've tested in Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Chrome on Windows 7 and it works fine, but in IE it is showing a black opaque background. I've seen the same issue on Safari on the Mac.
I now have 3 different variations of the code on the page, all 3 variations being transparent in Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Chrome on Windows 7, and all 3 variations NOT being transparent in Internet Explorer.
For 'attempt 2', I'm using swfobject which in theory should generate the correct code.

Any help much appreciated.

All 3 examples seem to render just fine in IE and FF.
See comparison photo:

If not working for you, try clearing your cache to remove any old, non working versions.
Test on some other machine besides yours.
Code looks fine and seems to work.

Wmode transparent not working on flash

It renders fine in IE and Firefox (latest versions of both) XP and Vista/7 OS's.
However in the last several minutes as i was writing a different answer, your content changed. Prior to current swf, there was however a blue box appearing in both browsers, and I noticed a discrepancy in your swf width and height attributes you posted.
Is there some specific reason you are using AC_FL_runcontent.js? Should not be needed for a simple slideshow.
So are you good to go?

WMode Transparent not displaying in Windows/Firefox

Hello, I'm using Wordpress and a Wordpress flash plugin
called Showtime Slideshow as the site's gallery. It works
perfectly in the standard wmode=window setting in
Firefox/Windows, but I have a dropdown menu that
overlaps with the Flash. I was able to figure out the wmode
needs to be opaque or transparent, but when I use those
settings, nothing is displayed at all. It works fine in
Windows/IE, Mac/IE and Mac/Firefox, so there is something
in the code that Windows/Firefox doesn't like in this code
(another Flash object from YouTube with wmode=transparent
displays correctly).
Here is the code that the plugin generates:

<script type='text/javascript'>
var flashvars = {
xml                : 'http://www.youtag.lu/youtagdesign/wp-content/plugins/showtime-slideshow/showtime/getxml.php?attr=id^433*source^medium*sourcehd^large*',
width                : '674',
height                : '448',
classid           : 'st_0',
rotationtime     : '5',
transition          : 'SlideRight',
transitiontime     : '1.5',
transitionease     : 'BackEaseOut',
autoplay          : '',
showcontrols     : 'on',
fullscreen          : 'on',
showtext          : '',
showalt               : 'on',
shuffle               : '',
scale               : 'noScale'
var params = {};
params.allowFullScreen = 'true';
params.bgcolor = '#EDEAE6';
params.quality = 'autohigh';
params.wmode = 'transparent';
//params.base = 'dirname(__FILE__)';
//params.allowScriptAccess = 'local';
var attributes = {};
attributes.styleclass = 'showtime';
swfobject.embedSWF ('http://www.youtag.lu/youtagdesign/wp-content/plugins/showtime-slideshow/showtime/st15.swf', 'st_0', '674', '448', '10.0.0', 'http://www.youtag.lu/youtagdesign/wp-content/plugins/showtime-slideshow/showtime/swfobject/expressInstall.swf', flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
[taken from the Showtime Slideshow demo page]
Based on that code, can anyone see anything that
would cause the whole slideshow to not display at all?

Bump. Could anyone take a look at the code?

Wmode will not work

I built a web photo gallery using Photoshop CS2's built in
Flash template #3 . In the js file that builds the swf it mentions
wmode:
myFlash.addParam("wmode", "transparent"); // optional
but I do not know where to insert this param.. I tried in the
html file, but it won't work.
thanks-
Jay

Icon Transparency not working?

I have a control in xcelsius using icons with the Transparency set to 0% (completely transparent in 4.5). They were working in 4.5 but after the upgrade to 2008, they did not work anymore
From the help files:
xcelsius 4.5: 0 being completely transparent, and 100 being completely solid.
xcelsius 2008: 100 being completely transparent, and 0 being completely solid.
But in 2008 I do not see any difference between 0 or 100%, the icon is always completely solid
Is that a bug? Am I missing something?

Please try adding a new icon to the canvas and adjusting the transparency. Let me know what happens as this works fine for me.
Thanks,
Gerrit

[rxvt-unicode]pseudo-transparency not working with Awesome WM (solved)

Hi all,
first of all, let me tell you that I googled about this problem, I read the Archwiki, the rxvt FAQ and several threads in multiple forums but nothing that I found actually worked.
I'm using Awesome WM and OpenBox and my rxvt is the standard rxvt-unicode from the repos.
Since an update, rxvt is not transparent anymore (I was using pseudo-transparency). Actually, transparency works with OpenBox but it does not work with Awesome WM. I find it very weird.
I tried increasing the shading value in .Xdefaults as suggested in an other thread in this form but it did not help at all. I thought the problem was that I needed libafterimage so I installed it but then, how to use it?
Does someone have any idea about this? I'd be very thankfull!

And how exactly did you get it to work with feh ? I keep failing to get pseudo-transparency.
My theme.lua has this:
awsetbg -f -u feh path/to/wallpaper
and I also tried this:
feh --bg-scale path/to/wallpaper
and in Xdefaults:
URxvt*background 0
URxvt*depth 24 ( doesn't work with 32 either )
URxvt*inheritPixmap true
URxvt*transparent true
EDIT:
I got cairo working ( finally ), so I have true transparency, so don't mind my post.

PNG transparency not working when importing in AfterEffects

I have been saving the pictures for Web & Devices -- PNG-8, transparency is checked, as far as Matte goes, I've selected "none" .... however, when I upload the images into After Effects, they all have white backgrounds instead of being transparent! I have combed the archives and can't seem to figure out what my problem is. If I ticked transparency, shouldn't it be transparent??
Even with transparency selected, if I do click Matte, it will use that color as the background in AfterEffects. But especially if I have "none" selected for matte, why is there a background showing up? I realize that I could try PNG-24, but file size is absolutely essential, down to the kilobyte, so I need to keep it at PNG-8.

If I ticked transparency, shouldn't it be transparent??
No. AE doesn't do palette based transparency. The image is not really transparent, it's just one color being tagged as such that a rendering device (browsers for instance) will blend in teh background pixels in place of the color. It just doesn't go together with how AE works. As Rick said, you will have to use 24bit PNGs.

Compound clip with transparency not working?

I have a compound clip that starts with a Cross Dissolve, on the timeline of the compound clip itself. I thought this would show through that the clip beneath it, but it doesn't. It dissolves up from black rather than the clip beneath it. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
It is a title sequence that I want to reuse in several places. The layering requires the dissolve to be in the compound clip itself. I can probably rebuild it in Motion, but I was hoping to get this to work.

Sure. Here is a look inside the comound clip:
The top track is an animation of a piece that slides into place. I dont want it to dissolve, but I do want the lower track to dissolve. That dissolve is what I can not get to show transparency.

Imported png with transparency not working as mask

I created an image with several wavey lines in photoshop to
use as a mask layer in Flash. I "save for web" as a png with
transparency. I import it to Flash and when it is on the stage it
is indeed transparent. But when I go to use it as a mask it masks
the entire rectangle of its dimensions, not just the waves. I trade
breaking it down and converting it to a symbol but no go. What am I
missing here?

Images are rectangle or square, even if you have transparency
or not, the entire image will be a mask.
The way you must work is usign vectorial shape as mask. You
can do it directly in Flash or use illustrator to build you shape
and then import it in Flash "Copy paste or export as swf". I know
that you have several wavey lines in photoshop. So, to keep them,
you have 3 possibilities.
1- Simply use path in Photoshop and export them into
Illustrator set them a color and use it in Flash
or
2- Import your image in Flash, then use the Trace Bitmap
option (Modify / Bitmap / Trace Bitmap)
or
3- Import you PNG in Illustrator and Convert it into shape
usign the Live Trace option.
These 3 way works great, depending on the complexity of you
graphics, each one have its own advantages

Upgrade to pcmanfm 0.9.7 makes mrxvt pseudo-transparancy not work.

Pcmanfm got updated when I did a "pacman -Suy". I run mrxvt and transparancy
no longer works. Before I was able to adjust the transparancy using hotkeys. When
I enable transparancy, my terminals windows no longer refresh properly. The
background doesn't get refreshed as it did with pcman 0.5.2-1. So I killed the pcmanfm
process and started xfdesktop (xfce4 desktop manager), and the terminals worked
correctly. Now I'm not sure if there is a new protocol or format for the Atoms on the
root window, but something is definitely wrong. I was going to submit a bug request
but I'm not sure if it is something with mrxvt or pcmanfm.
A simple test to validate my claim is to run pcmanfm --desktop, then run mrxvt,
set a desktop backround image. Inside the mrxvt setting press ctrl+shift+r. Then
you can adjust the transparancy (when it works), with ctrl+shift+j
and ctrl+shift+k. You can also display text on the terminal window, then hit ctrl+l
to clear the screen and the text no longer erases. You can toggle the transparancy mode
with ctrl+shift+r and then hit ctrl+l to see results.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks...

For the "Not Authorized" error :
With Udisks the file you have to edit instead of "usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy" is "usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy"
You just have to replace <allow_any>no</allow_any> by <allow_any>yes</allow_any> for actions related to mount and unmount filesystem, devices, etc.
Then, it will not necessary to launch pcmanfm as "dbus-launch pcmanfm" (but it's necessary to launch dbus in your .xinitrc or autostart )
Works fine for me.
I found it unnecessary to edit those files. You really shouldn't edit them anyway because the changes will be overwritten on the next update of udisks. Here's what I did find necessary. In my .xinitrc, this didn't work:
exec ssh-agent dbus-launch ck-launch-session lxsession
I saw my USB drive but I couldn't mount it, receiving a "Not Authorized" error from pcmanfm. This did work though:
exec ssh-agent ck-launch-session dbus-launch lxsession
It seems that for some bizarre intangible reason, on my computer, the console kit daemon must be running BEFORE the dbus daemon is launched in order for PolicyKit's policies to work right. I actually thought it'd be the other way around. I'd like to see somebody else try these two different setups and see if they can reproduce what I've seen.
And by the way, kgas: dbus-launch was not at all meant to be started once for every single application. It was meant to be started once in the .xinitrc like how I have just written or like this:
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
But of course that doesn't work because dbus-daemon must be started after the console kit daemon.

PNG transparency not working?

Using PS version 7.0...
I've made an image with a shadow along the top portion, and saved it as PNG-24 to preserve transparency, but it comes out as seen in this screen shot. I've tried various ways of saving the image, but nothing I do gives me the desired result. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

You should have no problem saving a transparent or partially transparent PNG file, even just using File - Save As...
Edit: I re-read your post and noted that you're using Photoshop 7.0. That's pretty old, and I'm not sure but you may have to use File - Save for Web.
You're probably aware of this, but I'll mention it anyway:
How you view/display the PNG file matters... Browsers render transparency, but image viewers often do not. Was the screenshot you displayed rendered in a web browser? Please feel free to download and use whatever parts you like from this web page to test with:

CS6 Gradient to transparent not working??

Hi there,
I'm in a bit of a rush - so thanks for taking the time...
I have a gradient in CS6 which I have set from 0% white to 100% Spot Colour then back to 0% white as I want the gradient to be transparent at the edges.
For some reason the 0% is not displaying as transparent on the screen, even though in the Gradient editor it does show the trasparency is there.
Any ideas????

Thanks again, I've done as you say and removed the white stops
The gradient panel at the top then reverts to:-
All I then get is a solid fill with no graduations at either end

Yakuake skin transparency not working properly

Hi.
I have a problem with yakuake skins. The tabs' part isn't transparent (the rest - console background and lower part of skin - are).
I used to use Kubuntu and this wasn't an issue there.
Any ideas?
Check bellow how the menu entries are hidden behind the upper part of the skin while they are visible behind the lower part:
PS. I have the latest KDE, Qt and Nvidia binary drivers.

Sorry for getting back so late.
No skin works and the test mentioned above didn't work either.
I also tried resetting the yakuake config (removed ~/.kde4/share/config/yakuakerc and ~/.kde4/share/apps/yakuake) but the problem persisted even with the default configuration.
Anyone else with an nvidia card + binary drivers to say whether it works for them?
