how to stop white backround flash when loading?

[iostream71]

hi,

when my page is loading, i notice that sometimes my movies flash a white background for a split second before running. i was wondering how i might get rid of this?

I have noticed that myself. I dont think there's anything you can do about it. It just shows that b4 it loads the beginning of tha movie and see's tha background iz a different color

[iostream71]

arrgh...there HAS to be a way to correct this. it looks terrible

reduce the time it remains White by making the size of your preloader as low as possible. or do what i did for vts330.tripod.com (http://vts330.tripod.com) and just make your entire HTML white also. other than that im not sure there is anything one can do.

i don't use a preloader. it's only a little clip i'm using

Thheeennnnnn I have no idea lol

I dun think there's a way to correct it it's jus how it iz

It reads tha HTML b4 tha flash...and it places a whitebackground as default where tha flash iz supposed to be inside tha HTML, until the movie begins to load.

Making it a transparent object will often help on IE.. I haven't really figured out how to solve that problem though. I think that this is one of the banes of all of our existances.

oh well, guess i'm stuck with it. at least i'm not the only one =)

Its very easy to solve this problem.

when u finished ur flash animatoin press (Ctrl+M) (Movie Properties) and change ur background Color as u like. I think this may be correct way just try.

this works sometimes, but there have been times when the movie backround is black but shows up white.

Had the same problem and found a solution not so much flash related as html. You will have to set the background colour of the flash file to whatever colour you need...not in the flash file but on the html page, and not of the whole page (as in the body tag option) but only of the flash file...maybe you thought of that already but it took me a while to solve this mystery...

My solution finding thread:

macromedia forum thread (http://webforums.macromedia.com/flash/messageview.cfm?catid=194&threadid=604719&highlight_key=y&keyword1=white&keyword2=flash)

Hope this helps :thumb:

:tie: yep, I do - but if your looking for a solution any thread
that doesn't really give you much of an answer other than:
'there's nothing you can do about it' - isn't much good either, right?

So, being all social and considerate, I thought better share
my new found wisdom (and yeah, I just found out ) with everybody else
who is in desperate need for some answers.

Anything wrong with that? No, don't answer that.
