bgcol - Can't get to work?

Ok, here is my VISUAL CONFIG:
Code
startimage = false
displaykeyguide = true
backimage = false
backalign = M
bgcol = 000000
textcol = FFFFFF
tooltipforegroundcolor = FFFFFF
tooltipbackgroundcolor = 000000
framewidth = 3
innerframe = false
framecol = CCCCCC
frameshadow = true
Notice clearly bgcol is set to black (000000)

My body tag in the HTML is also 000000

However, when viewing this:
http://www.ndorfnz.com/imagevuegallery/ ... eshow.html
You can clearly see a white background for images that don't take up the entire .swf size.

Shouldn't this bgcol being set to black cause this to appear as black and seamless (except for the border)

Weird...

Thanks for the insight![/code]

I'am missing some settings in your ndorfnz.ini file.

In my slideshowconfig.ini are the settings:
Code
startimage = false
startheading = foldername
displaykeyguide = true
backimage = false
backalign = M
bgcol = 004ab8
textcol = f7f7f7
tooltipforegroundcolor = textcol
tooltipbackgroundcolor = bgcol
framewidth = 8
framecol = textcol
innerframewidth = 8
innerframecol = textcol
frameshadow = true
slideshowlayer = false
slideshowlayeralpha = 30
slideshowlayeralign = OIM
slideshowlayermargin = 10
Maybe it is the frame you see?

Nope, still doesn't seem to make a difference?

Who knows? Rather confusing that you can set the bgcol to be black, but it still shows up as white?

I'm not a fan of the .ini files. Either I'm not doing things correctly or these .ini files don't appear all that stable?

Tip:
Try to change all the colorsettings into different colors like:
red (FF0000), green (00FF00), blue (0000FF), white (FFFFFF), black (000000)

When you test your slideshow, you can see which colorsetting is the problem.

Finally got it...had to make the flash movie itself transparent.

So in the pageshow.html
Code
param name="wmode" value="transparent" 
Then within embed
wmode="transparent"

Seems to defeat the purpose behind bgcol, but it works.
