What exactly are you looking to achieve with this? You want to display some HTML behind the flash?

I am trying to set my gallery to no background or transparent backgound so that the html (via css) can be seen. I split the page in three using "DIV" tags.
Here is were I am at:
http://www.ottomejia.com/ws/portafolio.html

This is an example of the background that I would like be viewable:

Is it possible to set a transparent background for the entire "stage" of the imagevue gallery?

Many thanks for any help that can be provided.

Unfortunately, you cant simply set transparent for imagevue ... Why dont you cut your background and simply add that graphic to the theme?

I want this also. I put the imagevuex slideshow on top of a flash site. So the background is moving a little and I want to keep this movement.

I located the themeConfig.xml file that holds the value for the background color, but I cannot change this. Or if I use "transparent" it just takes the default color. How can I prevent this please!? This must be possible.

I'm using the latest version.

Many thanks in advance!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
	<imagevue>
		<style>
			<background_color>transparent</background_color>
			<background_image>
				<enabled>false</enabled>
				<url>background2.gif</url>
			</background_image>
		</style>
		<thumbnails>
			<thumbnails>
				<frame>
					<width>4</width>
					<space>4</space>
					<color>FFFFFF</color>
				</frame>
			</thumbnails>
		</thumbnails>
	</imagevue>
</config>

A feature exists in Imagevue so that it always sets a solid background. Why? Because we need to do this to make sure the background color is set for people using custom html documents, probably like yourself. If we didn't do this, custom html documents would not include theme backgrounds, unless set manually from the html file.

In the next release Imagevue X2.7, coming later this month, we have added a workaround so you can use transparency for your gallery. However, we highly recommend to not use this option as it greatly reduces performance, especially if you have another SWF running in the background. Why don't you just add your animation as a SWF background directly in Imagevue?

From our new version working notes:

imagevue wrote:Added support for Flash transparency. You can use this feature to display Html behind the Imagevue gallery, although we do not recommend this because of performance issues and obvious placement issues. To apply this feature, you need to add wmode: 'transparent' and flashvar: transparent: true into your document. Normally this is achieved by editing iv-includes/templates/index.gallery.phtml unless you have a custom html document.

Thanks, but how do I insert that code? Tried a few variations, but nothing seems to work...

swfobject.embedSWF("<?php echo IV_PATH; ?>imagevue2.swf", "imagevue", "100%", "100%", "8.0.0", "<?php echo IV_PATH; ?>expressInstall.swf", flashVars, {wmode: 'transparent', allowScriptAccess: 'always', allowFullScreen: true, flashvar: transparent: true, bgcolor: ' '}, {id: 'imagevue', name: 'imagevue'});

I guess this is were it goes wrong: flashvar: transparent: true

Any help is really appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Yes, X2.7 beta is imminent for release. There has been a few delays related to the shopping cart feature, but a beta will be released this week.

Sorry for any inconvenience -
