Transparency for embedded SWF

[Rebecca]

I have embedded a SWF file into PowerPoint 2000. When I
view slide show, it plays, however, it has a white box for
a background. I need no color/background and don't know
what I need to adjust to make it transparent so it just
displays my SWF over the background image I have in
PowerPoint. I tried making the bkgd of my SWF the same
image, and I still get a white box.
What settings can I adjust to make it do what I need it to
do?
Thank you in advance for the help.

Rebecca,
SWF transparency isn't supported in the PowerPoint environment.

So there is no way to make a "see through" SWF ... meaning
there will always be a white box appearing where I draw
out the box to place my SWF when using the Active X
control to embed the file within PPT?

That's correct.

You shouldn't have a problem with putting the background on in Flash,
though.
Does the background show up if you play the Flash movie in the Flash player?

The file works fine in Flash ... I created it originally
in Swish (text animation software) and it works in both
with the background. However, when I put it into PPT it
just shows the big white box ... not my background image.
