Author buttons with transparent background

I want to animate flash buttons and place them on dreamweaver...how do I play with the scales between the two? How can I make the background transparent so my graphic stands alone on dreamweaver?

Try using Photoshop to create transparent gifs or png's and import them. If
masking is simple, you can break the image apart and remove the background -
then reconvert - but that can be arduous and have poor results with difficult
graphics.

I have a piece at http://www.datalog.tv/splash/splash_anim.html that uses pngs
with transparent backgrounds created in photoshop.

when u put a flash button in dreamweaver put this code in the object tags:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"> and
put this code in ur embed tags:
wmode="transparent"

Note: Transparent mode has been found to be buggy for some browsers like
Mozilla and interferes with the code. Still check it out.

thats why its safer to go wit the second option:
make the backgroudcolor of ur flash btn the same as where u r going to place it in the html file. So it looks to be transparent.
