Can flex have a transparent bg over the browser like Flash and can it work with a jquery overlay?

Question

so right now im using shadowbox jquery overlay, but was wondering if I could have a transparent background and use the overlay in tandem.

Is there a way to export it like in flash?

Answer 1

Yes. You do not need to touch the flash file.

Choose "Transparent" in the WMODE setting within your html template to make the Flash movie's background disappear in browsers which support this feature.

Or

in your html file

Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent"> 

Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag

wmode="transparent"

Edited , you need to change the background alpha in your <mx:Application> tag add backgroundAlpha="0" or to a value you feel comfortable with.
