   Yeah we work with chroma key technology alot and have used the flash bitmap API with blend, but it only works if the video is 100% perfect, even then it is hard to do the effects. Most of the time you will be using a video editor to convert it to FLV and to resize it etc. so you really need to use after effects, avid or any other vid editor to do the keying , flash gets very jagged green edges… Good tutorial though :)

   This Alpha flash tutorial was excellent. I have a transparent flash player that plays transparent flvs in sequence or random and each clip can have a unique URL. Great for your website. Take a look and let me know what you think.

   Fantastic tut! I have an alpha flash player that loads these clips up in sequence or random and gives each one a unique URL. Check it out and let me know what you think.

   Hi Paul,

   My video frame (supposedly transparent) still covers up that part of the page that the layer is on. After much trying I cannot get it to render transparent in IE7. The video was blue screen keyed in Adobe Permiere Elements, exported as a .mov file and an FLV file was made in Flash Professional 8 with a transparent skin with controls. The alpha channel was encoded and the codec was On2v6. Something I am missing here - help much appreciated
