Hi,
I have this problem too.
1. Each time I drag a transparent window over the desktop it eats next 1-5 Mb, depending on the size of swf.
2. Another issue with transparency – opening double windows:
– Shell.execute, …
– opening dialogs (message boxes) …
leads to opening of two identical windows.

Probably the only option is to ask developers to fix bug.
Please!

Serge

SWF Studio transparency is really great, I break 1 movie into many small movies (each insect has own movie) and now with swf studio it is just 0-2%, but there is problem with creating child windows. I have to use Shell.execute, and every small movie with insect takes 18MB of memory in Zinc, it’s just 1 MB of memory, so I’m looking further. IBut as Kirit wrote, Zinf has similar problems we will see. I need fast solution, because i’m leaving my company tommorow, and i have to solve this problem…

Hi, I face a similar problem using MDM Zinc but iceProjector seems to be doing the job well. Maybe you should try the demo version.

I looked into how screenweaver does its transperancy a while ago and yes its resource intensive. They blit it off screen first with a black background then a white. They then take the diference of the two and work out the alpha form that. So it has to render 3 frames per one. At least thats what they were doing when I looked 6 mnths ago. Youl notice some projectors have a freeze mask option wihich save cpu but doesnt allow for dynamic alpha. If the CPU usage is too much then I would skip to a new projector. Sorry dude. you could make sure your movie is as small as possible that way the renders wouldnt be as big, but I doubt that would increase the performance much…..apart from that wait for Apollo, My guess is they have inbuilt a sugar coater version of the player which makes the alpha directly availble to the Apollo platform. Or at least I hope they have.

Cheers

I don’t know the whole mechanics of how they do it, but definitely try swf studio for the transparent bg feature, out of all the products , they have hte best performance for that feature.
