Re : How to deal with transparent Flash ? Does WMODE work ?

[MacIndian]

I'm using LabVIEW 8.5.1 and i have an ActivX object with a flash movie into.

I have a transparent background in my movie and wants it to work in LabVIEW.

There is the methode wmode included in the object.  I set it to "transparent" like in a html webpage but i still get a white background.

Does wmode works in LabVIEW ?

Is there an other solution ?

Thank you

Hello,

As I undestand, you need to make LabVIEW front panel transparent.

Unfortunately, there is no way to make the FP background transparent alone. You can set the transparency of FP objects (controls and indicators), or for the whole FP, but in this case, all objects embedded in the FP will be transparent as well as your ActiveX object.

Have a nice day,

It may be that the OP wants the ActiveX control itself to be transparent, so that possible other LabVIEW controls beneath might show through. And I believe the ActiveX control does not support that in any way. Not even fully shure how that would work, but possibly ActiveX allows that option nowadays, but as said I don't think the LabVIEW container supports that.
