What's the hex code for transparency?

[Comp625]

I'm trying to make a set of Flash buttons. The buttons are nice and spiffy but I want the background of my buttons to be transparent (to match the background wallpaper of my webpage). My editor allows me to choose the background from a set of predefined colors or entering my own 6 letter/digit hex code (ex: #FFFFFF). Unfortunately, I have no idea what the hex code for transparency is. Can someone fill me in? Thanks!

Although I don't know you would think it is 000000.

there is no hex code for transparency.

hex codes define colors. opacity defines the amount of transparancy given to a color and/or object.

you need to change the opacity to something less than 100%. What program are you using?

transparency is not a color so it wont have a hex value to represent it.

LOL

I confirm that transparency doesn't have a hex code. There should be some sort of opacity setting/property to control the alpha filter.

Sometimes fuscia represents transparent. That would be FF00FF, assuming the first byte is for red, the second for green and the third for blue.

There is a way to make the background transparant. You have to set a extra parameter in the html code of the page where your movies are in. The parameter is "wmode" and it has to be set to the value "transparent".
So it will look something likes this:

<param name=movie value="your_button.swf">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

Only works in IE though....
