How to make the flash movie transparent but as child window

Postby TomFang » Thu Sep 04, 2008 7:19 pm

I am going to make the flash as toolbar so it has to be child window of my main window. As the child window it can not have layered window style. However I want user can see through the flash toolbar. (Please refer to Google's Lively. It use the tooblar as child window but transparent).
I looked demo on transparent control and it is the child window on the dialog window. When paint the background it set button-face as the brush color. I just want to make sure that the flash toolbar is really transparent but without layered window style.

Thanks.

Thank you for your question.

Yes, actually, f-in-box just emulates transparent effect when it created as a child window.

Could you please give me a link where from I can download Google's Lively?

Thank you in advance!

Yeah, Google Lively uses f-in-box...

It seems they use directx / opengl, so please look at \Samples\DirectX\FlashTexture from the f-in-box zip.

Thank you.
