But what I want to do is lower the opacity (sp?) on some of the objects in the flash file so when viewed on the webpage, the patterned background can be seen slightly through the objects (in my flash file). Anyone understand what I am trying to do, and how would I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance.


Ok, I'm making a flash navigation system for my website, and I want to put it into a table in my html, I can get the background to be transparent so the image behind the flash file can be seen. But what I want to do is lower the opacity (sp?) on some of the objects in the flash file so when viewed on the webpage, the patterned background can be seen slightly through the objects (in my flash file). Anyone understand what I am trying to do, and how would I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance.

No, the thing I wanted to make slightly transparent was only a solid coloured rectangle with text overlayed, so when filling the rectangle with colour I changed the opacity value in the colour selection window. Then when I put the flash part into my html I added the tag < param name="wmode" value="transparent" > in the < object > < / object > tags.

That won't work in anything other than IE though will it?

Ah. Just tried to viw the page in Netscape and right you are.... it doesn't work. Ok, anyone know a way around this ? (Apart from putting a notice on the splash page saying the site only works with IE) Many thanks in advance.

Ok, sorted it. Transparent in both IE and netscape. This is what I did - Go to File/Publish Settings, check HTML, go into the html tab and find the Window Mode drop down, choose Transparent Windowless, publish it. Than when inserting it into the html I used the wmode="transparency" tags again, this time compatible with netscape too, and hopefully other browsers.
