Changing backgrounds

[Linda Haas]

I have been fiddling around with Elements and PhotoDeluxe. I like the ease of use to select an object in Photo Deluxe (v.4) and click remove background, BUT now I am stymied...I cannot figure out how to ADD another background. Is there a fairly simple way to do this in Elements 2.0?

Linda,

The first time you open a "new" image it's classified as a background layer. Note the bottom box of color squares in tool box and you'll see default color of the background. If you click that background color box and then click any of the color swatches to change that color, you'll get that color when you use the eraser. If you wish to work from a standard layer, where you've double clicked the background layer to make it a standard layer, then make a new layer, move it below the original and fill it with the color you desire for a background.

Well I'm trying to keep an open mind to solve my many problems.

I was wondering if there is any action script that can cause a background in
Dreamweaver to change when a certain frame is reached?

Is this possible?

Use a javascript to accomplish this (put it in the head statement of your page):

<script language="JavaScript">
function newBG(colorcode){
document.bgColor = colorcode;
}
</script>

Then use a getUrl to call javascript:newBG(######); in your flash
movie...where ###### is your new background color. If this doesnt work let me
know and Ill post an example. g/l
