Background Transparency in XML?

[rogerraa]

hello, I am trying to use this Free Mp3 Player from here; http://www.flabell.com/flash/Flash-Mp3-Player-29 and am having some troubles getting the player to have a transparent background. I assumed I would have to tell the embed swf file to be transparent but on the forums here; http://www.flabell.com/topics/view/300 someone is saying I should do it in the xml file. This is the first I've heard of xml so yeah I'm pretty much sol. Here is the xml file I'm thinking he was me to edit but I have no clue on how to make a background transparent no matter which way I try..

Only the people at that other forum may help you... assuming bobocel is also one of the creators of this player.XML is just a standard text format that lets people create their own languages that they later read and interpret. XHTML, RSS and SVG were all born on this premise. In this case, the creators of the player have created their own language for configuring their player, and they let you supply such a file that they read and configure the player accordingly.I'm not sure how you would set the background color to transparent... maybe if you remove the element altogether, or (for the sake of the test) comment it out, like:

<!--<background_color color="0x201f1f"/>-->

If that doesn't do it, I don't know... I just can't know.

... I just can't know.

Yeah thats kinda what I wanna tell the guy.. That guessing how they coded the player is getting old, so come out with the answer. But I think they want you to "purchase" a support ticket before they give any real help. Which is I guess I can understand but... m3h

[boen_robot]

If they had a publically available schema, you'd know all things that their language allows. If there was, say, a "transparent" attribute or if that was a possible value of "color", you'd know for sure.But they don't, so... yeah... buying a support ticket is probably the way to go. But once you do buy it, if they can't make it happen, I think you have every right to DEMAND that they allow this... somehow. This is of course, again assuming that bobocel is part of the creators (which I really can't guess when looking at his profile).
