I can't get my movie to have a transparent background. I'm using Flash MX
Professional 2004 7.0.1 and my code in the HTML file is
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve
rsion=6,0,29,0" width="221" height="800">
<param name="movie" value="menu.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="menu.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="221" height="800"></embed>
</object>

I don't see a background tag in there and MX won't let me take out the
background in Modify->Document (defaults to black).

Please do a search for before posting questions. This subject comes up a
dozen times per week and a search will save you time, you get your answer
instantly, and keep from cluttering up the forum with repetetive questions.

Ad to your HTML:

<PARAM NAME="wmode" VALUE="transparent">

It should be obvious where add it in. Also note, this is a very very very
buggy effect to use and may cause untold problems, possibley making your swf
run slow, buttons to malfunction, interfere with JS in the HTML causing
rollover issues and hordes of other issues. No one with any experience uses
it. It's faults are also well documented if you do a search. You are FAR
better off to design you site NOT using it.
