Question : AxShockwaveFlash transparency problem

Hi...

I am developing an application in which i need to use some flash movies. I have no problem loading my swf movies into my AxShockwaveFlash Objects but I need these movies to have a transparent background.

I've set the WMODE property to "Transparent" but it does not work. Movies are played with a BGcolor and not transparent.

Thank you

Answer : AxShockwaveFlash transparency problem

The simple answer is no. The transparency mode is only supported within the browser - not as an embedded ActiveX control on your form.

You could use a webbrowser control and then load the SWF into that. Alternatively, you can adjust the 'Region' of the flash control to adjust its drawing region - but this implies that your control's background / outline is always static.
