overriding theme with new background image

Hi,
I am using the Verdant theme which has a green background. I have overridden the background image with my own image of a different colour. When I run the swf file in a browser the left and right ends of the application are in the colours of the Verdant theme, and my overridden image colour appears in the centre (i.e. my own background image does not take up the entire screen). Is there any way that I can change the Verdant left and right green bits to black instead, and keep my own image in the middle as it is or can I force my own background image to take up the entire screen area?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,

The colour that appears on the border is the HTML page background colour. It is set in the theme and usually matches the background colour of the default background.

You can change it by editing the theme file directly in an application like notepad - search and change the following line from

<pair name="flashmoviebackgroundcolor" value="#008000" />

to

<pair name="flashmoviebackgroundcolor" value="#000000" />

thanks that worked great
