Hello,
I love monoslideshow - it is hands down the best slideshow out there - and v2 looks even better than v1 which is amazing.
I need a slideshow with a transparent background for a project I am working on at the moment (eg totally transparent or where the alpha can be set or where an image can be used - any of those would be amazing) and would love to use mss.
Is this possible with monoslideshow or do I have to revert to an inferior slideshow for background transparency?
As far as I can see this is about the only option which is not covered in the manual - or at least not openly customizable.
Glad to see the site up and running again.
Thanks in advance.
This is a Flash thing and not specific to Monoslideshow.
Look at this page at the Adobe site and check out wmode=transparent.

Thanks christopvl.
I believe this is actually further than wmode transparent - and I should have mentioned that wmode=transparent had no bearing on the background in my demos (certainly with v1.32 from a previous purchase).
I want to be able to see the html page background as I have different shaped images in a portfolio.
To the best of my understanding monoslideshow by default includes a white background even if no background is mentioned in the xml file - and a background is always visible even with wmode = transparent as a flash parameter in the html.
Any chance you could show me a working example with a transparent background christophvl and prove me wrong.
If you can, I will buy it in a second for my latest project.
Otherwise, I will wait to hear from the monoslideshow team.
Ok, you are right. That doesn't work. The missing parameter is backgroundAlpha, as is available for some items, but not the slideshow itself.
Then the only thing that may help you is the mark file which you can put on top of Monoslideshow - and a .png with transparency will perhaps do the trick for you?
But if you really have different shaped images in a portfolio, and I for example use portrait and landscape images within the same landscape viewport, the only possibility is to put the images in Photoshop on top of your HTML background and show the result as an image in Monoslideshow. Not very elegant, but the viewing customer doesn't see any difference.
Does it help this time?
Christoph
Thanks Christoph.
Will give that a go.
Hi again Christoph,
I got it.
Background transparency can be achieved using a blank transparent gif (or I guess png) with the backgroundImage parameter in the configuration line when coupled with wmode = transparent.
EG:
<configuration backgroundImage="/assets/images/blank.gif" scaleMode="none" >
(I used scale mode none to allow for different size portrait and landscape images)
Gotta love V2!!
Thanks for your help.
Great idea, I thought about the same thing while driving the other day, but never came round to using it. Great idea especially for mixed portrait/landscape slideshows.

Hi
everything works fine with the transparency, but when i set the viewport to a different size then i got a black background in the viewport. Any idea how to solve this?
Thx
Christian
Are you actually wanting to change the viewport size or the entire flash window? If entire window, couldn't you resize in the HTML instead of using viewport? Maybe I am thinking wrong???
it's no problem to change the viewport oder the hole size, what i mean is this:
with this code i get transparency <configuration backgroundImage="blank.gif" scaleMode="none" viewport="0,0,0,130,offset" > but not behind pictures who are smaller then the viewport.
If i write <configuration backgroundImage="blank.gif" scaleMode="none"> only in the xml it works fine with all transparency, but my design is gone.
