how do you get rid of your background???? can you actually do that??? thankx, adrielle...a total newbie 2 flash

in the code on your HTML page containing the Flash movie, make sure you have:
<param name="wmode" value="Transparent">
That'll do the job!

um, that's not exactly what i meant. i did that, and the whole image is like only half of the 'stage'...how do i erase the rest?

In that case, I really don't know what you're talking about. Can you post your files (swf and fla) somewhere so I can have a look at it?

Just for reference sake, this only works in IE4+ so I really don't recommend using it.

most browsers now a days are 4+, plus you need internet explorer 4+ to instal the flash player. If you are below 4 i think the highest player possible is flash player 4.

I was emphasizing more on the 'IE' side of things. Not everybody uses Internet Explorer :)

Thats true, plus the number of non internet explorer users will increase soon because Microsoft is no longer making browsers for the Mac, the standard browser for the Mac will be Safari (Its basically Netscape)
