Flash MX background...is black help

[sventhors]

When I export a movie scene into flash mx I am getting a black background in Flash. How do I get rid of the black background. In render global I have choosen vector and swf file.. Thanks

[failure]

And what color should it be?

[sventhors]

I just want the object. Like when u import it in to shake or in Final Cut you just get the object and then u can include a background.

Could you post a swf?

[sventhors]

Yes, I did. But I got the image and the rest of the black background as like from the render scene.

No, what I ment was: Could you post it here on forum so somebody can tak a closer look at it
Info you've suplied is simply not enough for solving the problem.
What happens when you import vectors into mx? Is that background a black rectangle behind object? Is it alltogether a bitmap? What? How your scene looks like? Did you closely inspect the swf file? Etc Etc

The following methods should help you attain a transparent background in Flash...

Just render the image in an image format that supports alpha channels (tga e.g.). Open the image in Photoshop and there should be a mask in the channels window. This is the alpha channel.

Another method that works for image sequences / animations:

First of all, make sure you have Quicktime installed. In Maya, render using tiff as your image format. In Flash, choose import and locate your image(s). Flash should ask whether it should import through Quicktime - do that... voila.

Hope it helps.

Yes, but that are bitmaps, not vectors.

I allways use a script that vbatchremoves tha bacckground object using Adobe illutrator and then import the illustrator seqence! Anyway I use illustrator so that i can have different witthd without needing to rerendar things i use simple colorcodes to distinguish areas.
