was #ebf4f7 initially. Replacing the

tag with sIFR, you could see the white "box" that the flash movie was contained in. When I switched the background color of the
to something like #ff0000 or #000000 the white "box" would disappear. I found the same result if I increased the font size to 48px. Try it and see if you experience the same thing. If you don't I'll try to put something together to illustrate what I was seeing. It seemed to me that if the difference in brightness/hue of the background and the movie was small then you would be able to see the box that the flash movie was contained in.

Not seeing anything out of the ordinary, checked in Firefox 3 / Mac and IE 7. Could you give any details about the browser, OS and Flash version that give these issues? -- Mark From wbowley at gmail.com Mon May 12 13:00:04 2008 From: wbowley at gmail.com (Warren Bowley) Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 09:00:04 -0400 Subject: [sIFR3-dev] r406 transparent background issue.

It all had to do with color quality on the machine. I was testing on a batch of old PC's that the client is going to have as end terminals, and unfortunately the video cards are rather old and don't support high end resolutions OR a large number of colors which is why this was happening. I have had to change the background of the page to white so things look correct on those machines. Drop the color quality on Windows machines to 16K and you will see what I'm taking about. I have tested it on my development machine running XP pro/IE6/7 and can confirm that this is happening. Flash is the latest version downloaded last week.
