Hi Martin,

You really must clear the bgcolor as well - just make it empty in the property inspector.

Hello,

I am completely new to the Flash Album Generator 2.0. I'm having trouble getting a transparent background. I'm not sure what you mean by "clear the background color" in the Properties Inspector. Can you help?

Thanks,
Glenn

I've tried as mentioned in this topic to get a transparent background but I just get every time a white background.

Thanks for your help.

I solved it. I only looked in the preview of the propertiespanel. In the browserpreview everything looks fine. Thanks.

yes indeed - DW itself do not support transparency - so you won't see it in the preview

It's a great plug-in...and I've almost got everything in place except that I can't get the background to be transparent.

I've set W/mode to Trans and Bg colour to 0px in d/weaver but I still get a white b/ground even when previewing in Explorer.

Here is the .xml file..I'm not sure why I don't have <param name etc> as others here have? Am I supposed to be able to edit a Flash file????

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<flashgallery version="1">
<gallery id="test">
<title>test</title>
<meta>
<entry name="backgroundColor">0x
</entry>
<entry name="foregroundColor">0x33FF66
</entry>
<entry name="layout">0
</entry>
<entry name="photoScale">0.7
</entry>
<entry name="thumbnailRows">1
</entry>
<entry name="thumbnailColumns">5
</entry>
<entry name="thumbnailPadding">0
</entry>
<entry name="frameColor">0x
</entry>
<entry name="activeFrameColor">0x
</entry>
<entry name="activeFrameWidth">6
</entry>
<entry name="noShadow">true
</entry>
<entry name="thumbnailShadow">5
</entry>
<entry name="shadowAlpha">10
</entry>
<entry name="roundFrame">22

....realised it's d/w code..it's late..been on 'puter too long...!

Ok...figured this one out...clicking Bg color creates an '0x' in the box. Deleting the '0x' creates a transp. background. Not that obvious...but overall I'm v.pleased with the software. Just wish a few things were more automated...such as benig able to add lines of text automatically, and an option to generate images in a specific order, plus automatic text sizing.

Hi Jackie,

Yes we need to improve the transparency option indeed.

How do you see the addin text lines automatically option?

Hi George,
>How do you see the addin text lines automatically option?<

....an option to replace the "title" with lines of wrapped text.

The best improvements would the above and also the having control over the sequence the thumbs appear...and being able to automatically add more photos after the album has been created. Although these options are can be done via the .xml coding...even for someone with no experience of changing code it's easy - speaking personally here :=)...it would be nice if it was all fully automated.

Apart from being able to achieve an attractive, professional design in next to no time, it was the .xml feed which attracted me to the Active Slideshow Pro and FAG2...no l o n g waits for pics to download.
