How do I make my background transparent ?

There are 2 ways to install a Flash animation on your website :

1. EASY
Your Flash file is hosted by :
FlashVortex.com

2. ADVANCED
Your Flash file is hosted by :
YOU

1. If you use the EASY installation process :

Your installation HTML code should look like this :

<script src="http://h1.flashvortex.com/display.php?id=
1_43896_1187545555_253_0_527_68_8_1_1" type="text/javascript"></script>

To make your background transparent, you will need to add the following code snippet ( in red ) :

<script src="http://h1.flashvortex.com/display.php?id=
1_43896_1187545555_253_0_527_68_8_1_1&transparent=yes" type="text/javascript"></script>

2. If you use the ADVANCED installation process :

To make your background transparent, you will need to edit the HTML tag provided by the generator. You must add the following two code snippets ( in red ) :


<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/
swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="148" height="191">

<param name="movie" value="flashvortex.swf" />

<param name="quality" value="best" />

<param name="menu" value="true" />

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

<embed src="flashvortex.swf" quality="best" menu="true" width="148" height="191" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" allowScriptAccess="always" wmode="transparent" />

</object>

IMPORTANT: DON'T COPY THE ENTIRE TAG ABOVE. The above tag is just an example. If you don't have the HTML tag provided by the generator, read the following FAQ.

With a transparent background, some Flash animations will fit perfectly on any webpage background color or texture. Here is an example of the transparent background feature in action :
