Flash object in DesktopX with transparency to reveal desktop
Sunday, July 2, 2006 by Boz011 | Discussion: DesktopX
Hi, I've tried everything to find a solution to use a Flash movie with DesktopX but all I can come up with is if I use the web browser activex thing, but then I don't have a transparent background of the flash movie so I can see the desktop.
Is there a way to do this?
I have a simple PNG with transparency animation sequence that I imported in flash and created a SWF. I want to load that swf as an object or widget or in any way possible so I preserve the transparency. With Web Browser control I only get white background.
I don't understand with DesktopX 3 Pro, I see several controls Shockwave ActiveX, Shockwave Flash Object, MS Web Browser and Flash Factory Object. I keep getting some errors when I try to use Shockwave Flash Object.
I'm just stuck. I really want to use DesktopX features because I think there's a lot of potential but I must use Flash since the whole interactive application is written in Flash.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
