Hi guys, can someone please help.I can't get my albums to display the background as transparent...
Now before i get flamed for not reading the tutorials of FAQ's i have!! and i understand how it works..
If i create something simple within Flash MX Pro, such as importing an image to the stage and setting the background to transparent i can make that work fine.
But when i apply the same code to my albums, it just does not work....
I have posted a link to a sample album in the hope someone might look at the source code and tell me where i might be going wrong.. because i really can't see it... <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
This is the link: domain712000.sites.fasthosts.com/jewels/Untitled-1.htm
Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

hello!
After getting frustrated with trying to alter the html on my page, i took a look at the XML file that is produced and found the problem, so thought i would share with others....
At the start of the XML file is the following: (note HTML can not be displayed so i've shortened the code)
backgroundColor>0x<
foregroundColor">0x<
layout">2<
photoScale">0.7<
thumbnailRows">2<
thumbnailColumns">5
thumbnailPadding">10<
frameColor">0xFFFFFF<
activeFrameColor">0xFFFFFF<
frameWidth">1<
activeFrameWidth">6<
transition">mxfade?duration=1000<
Notice this entry: <b>backgroundColor">0x<</b> at the start.
If you remove the "0x" the white background is removed, despite the extension and all the html on the page suggesting the background should be transparent!
The string should read: <b>backgroundColor"><</b>
For me at least.... that looks like it's worked..... <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Cheers!
