Animated character Jul 02, 2014 By John Toh hi Heroes, I have used a third party tool - Code baby to build an animated character, and i published it as .flv with a transparent background. However, when i inserted the character into Storyline (insert>video>video from files), i lost the transparent background. It worked with Captivate. I was just wondering is there anything i can do to change the background to transparent? thanks John
