SWF Video Border?

[Anpanman]

I'm creating an all-vertical hyperspin setup. Because of the lack of themes I am using the arcade flyers archive as backgrounds for my games and used autokustom to create the wheels. I currently have a generic video border but my problem is that it looks a bit off when its paired with certain backgrounds.

 

My question is, is it possible to use an flash video border? Are there any examples of themes using a flash video border?

No, it is not possible to use a .swf as video border. You can use a .png as video border though.

 

The only way to use a .swf videoborder is putting it on an Artwork layer. TBH it is also possible to load an external mp4/flv inside a .swf but this involves a bit of AS3 coding. It is also possible to embedd a flv inside a .swf.

Thanks Dark13, that clears up quite a bit.

 

My idea was basically to make a flash border that changed colors.

dark... would it be possible to have the background as swf since swf maintains transparencies?  so the backgroun would be the actual background and the animated video border.  And have the video the lowest layer?  Or is the video always on top of the backgroun layer?  Or could artwork1, 2, 3 or 4 be used as the video bored?
