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 -- http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/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.
You can download a sample, "Flash-Shaped, Semi-Transparent Windows using Flash 8 Filters", from the mProjector Samples page -- http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/flas.html.
If the windowless performance for your application is inadequate, mProjector Mac also supports non-rectangular windows by using external TIFF files. In order to use this method, define an initial shape for the application in the mProjector Builder "Shape" tab, by supplying an initial TIFF file. You can change the shape of your window during execution by specifying a different Tiff file using the mWindow.setShape() command. The Flash movie plays as an opaque rectangle centered over the TIFF. The TIFF must be larger than the Flash size.
