Irregular Movie Shape possibilities.

[Macnimation webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi,

Is it possible to create a Movie that is not the standard Rectangular shape?

If the Interface goes beyond the Movie size then it gets cut off, if its smaller than the stage size then you get the horrible yellow border around it.

I know you can change the color of the stage and use full screen option, but I would like the movie to be centered and be the Movie size with no taskbar.

Can it be done?

thx

I would check out the Winshaper Xtra from Raviware. I use it regularly and
it works fantastically. Only problem is it doesn't support resize. Anyway,
check it out.

You can set the mask of a MIAW using:
window("myWindow").windowType = member("1bit cast member")
This is however and undocumented feature and it has problems in OSX.

yes - there are a few Xtras out there that allow you to make unique windows ... RavWare has one I have used - and there are a few others .
