    Hi - Thanks - it didnt work on Flashvar but it worked on Plugin :-)
    Also I removed the default background colour. Not sure if that was neccessary or not.

    Fantastic resource you guys have here. Im overwhelmed with the possibilities of widgetbox. I think widgets are going to be bigger than video !

    How to set the Flash widget background to wmode=transparent?
    Can you tell me how to get a transparent background in my flash widget? The file works like this using wmode="transparent" .

    I tried writing 'transparent' in the colour for the background in the flash widget interface - this makes it go black.
    I tried putting [not set] and that didnt work either - it shows the stage colour of the flash file.

    The widget is here http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/5497f...
    Dark blue is the stage colour of the flash file.

    There must be a simple way to do this - no?

    Thanks

    Instr for user to append username to url in flash widget?
    i think this is something other people must have done before?

    I do basic flash okay. I want to make a widget that in the Widgetbox configuration has a field for the persons username. I want this username to be appended on the URL that the flash file links to as in http://www.mysite.com/username .

    Members of my site willl then be able to use this as an advertisment for their page on my site.

    In the flash movie I presume I have a button that has code on it like this
    on (release) { getURL("http://www.mysite.com/"+username, "_blank"); }

    Is that the correct code and what settings do I use in the widget builder to create the field and set this username?

    I saw reference to using a 'named tag' in the docs - but I cant find this functionality in the Widget builder interface - and Im not even sure that is the correct way to do it.

    Please help
