Flash-Shaped, Semi-Transparent Windows

The current version of mProjector supports real time, Flash-shaped windows, with Flash alpha channels and anti-aliasing. In order to create such a window, whose shape and size changes as your Flash contents does, select the "Flash-shaped (Windowless)" window type in the Window panel of the mProjector compiler, or when creating child windows using the mApplication.createWindow() command.

To produce accurate PNG transparency, alpha channels, and anti-aliasing on Windows OS with Flash-shaped windows turn on alpha correction with the command mWindow.enableAlphaCorrection(true). This command has no effect on the Mac.

You can download a sample, "Alpha Correction", from the mProjector Samples page -- /software/flash-projector/flas.html.

Enabling alpha correction will remove font smoothing from non-embedded dynamic and input text. If the application requires non-embedded fonts, correct alpha channel rendering by applying Flash 8 filters as necessary to individual elements. Using an "Adjust Color" filter with default (zero) settings will not alter your content, but will trigger accurate mProjector/Flash rendering.
