How To Make a Flash Movie Transparent

After working in Flash for a few hours, you have finally perfected it. Now it's time to upload and embed your creation. But before you can embed it on a web page, you need to make sure it fits in perfectly with the rest of your site. To do this, you have to create a transparent background for your .swf file. Doing so is fairly easy: In just a few simple steps, you can have a Flash movie that works perfectly and integrates seamlessly with the rest of your website.

      Navigate to Window Mode, and make sure that "Transparent Windowless" is selected.
