This tutorial was written for the Flash Designer software, which allows you to create flash animations in a much easier way than by using Macromedia Flash. You may get Flash Designer here.
Transparent Flash Animation
To export transparent Flash animation perform 2 steps:
- Choose "Movie" > "Export Options" and check "Transparent" checkbox. It will force Flash Designer to export Flash movie in so called "windowless" mode.
- Add Flash HTML in absolute positioning mode (for example in a DIV tag)
<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; left:300; top:200">
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="250"
CODEBASE="http://active.macromedia.com/flash5 /cabs/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0">
<PARAM NAME="MOVIE" VALUE="transparentegg.swf">
<PARAM NAME="PLAY" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="LOOP" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="WMODE" VALUE="transparent">
<PARAM NAME="QUALITY" VALUE="high">
<EMBED SRC="transparentegg.swf" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="250" PLAY="true" LOOP="true" WMODE="transparent" QUALITY="high"
