Hello again, dear friends.
I haven't checked in to this in a while and I'm too tired right now to browse through Macromedia TechNotes - but how is the browser compability for transparent background flash movies nowadays? Are there any other things to keep in mind?
- PrayStation0
it's in publish - html - window mode - transparent windowless - but I think it only work in IE on the PC.

yes. Transparency (i.e. windowmode=transparent) slows down Firefox's rendering capabilities quite a bit. But it also speeds UP IE's abilities.
- fate_redux0
naw, it works in FF, NS, IE. I made a script that serves a transparent swf for IE only (improved performance for the majority) and turns it off for all other browsers:

Also works in Safari and some other mac browsers too, I forget which ones.

Thanks, that was quick. And thanks for the zip. I'll look into that.
So it speeds up performance in IE? Fascinating, Dr Watson!

lnu, yeah. Pixelranger was the first I heard it from, about the IE thing. I thought it was golden until I tested in other browsers.
I updated the serve.zip so you can either specify an absolute height/width (and keep it centered, too!) or just use the old 100%x100%.
