Changing the background color of a Flash Button
Each Flash Button has a white background by default. This is usually appropriate when the document background is also white, but if the document background is another color, a pattern, or an image, the Flash Button will not blend well with it. In such cases, you can solve the problem by changing the background color of the Flash Button or by making its background transparent. The examples below illustrate the effect of making a Flash Button’s background transparent when the document background is gray.

The borders of some Flash Buttons may look ragged when you make their background color transparent. This may result from the way the buttons were made. In such cases, set the background color to the same color as the document’s background instead of making it transparent.
Transparent Flash Button backgrounds are supported by Internet Explorer 4+, Firefox, Netscape 6+, and Opera 6+.
