Hello ,

I have some little questions regarding swf movies uploaded in background .

The multiple background options is very usefull , in my case I use a primary jpg background and I use two little simple swf for background 1 and 2 to put a link and some effect . It seem's to work , but is there limitations or recommendations ?

For example , I've made a little text animated with the flash extentsion flasheff (http://www.flasheff.com) in CS5/flash10 ( dynamic text,enbedd). It's work well when played in the player but if I upload as a background on imagevue , text is display but the effect not , there is a flicker square in a part of the text

I'm not a flash guru so what can be wrong ? compilation issue ? flash version ? not supported ?

I work on test server running locally for this so I not able to give you a url , but you can find this swf test in the zip file attached

have a nice day

If you are using SWF backgrounds, there are a few things you need to be aware of:

1. You may not be able to use AS3.0 files, although the static graphics might work fine.
2. Depending on the code of the compiled SWF, there could be incompatibilities in the code.
3. Perhaps most important: Unless you are aligning your SWF to TL (Top Left), no-repeat, then you may need to make sure your SWF has an actual physical background that defines the boundaries of the SWF file. Why? Because Imagevue uses the width and height of the background to position and align it. If you have a SWF with just an animation, the actual width of the SWF may be changing and Imagevue may not be able to position it correctly. To counter-act this, you can often edit your SWF/FLA and just create a transparent square shape in your SWF that defines the width and height.
