false Default. Object is opaque. It cannot be transparent.
true Object can be transparent.

Remarks

When the property is set to false , the backgroundColor property of the object can only be that of the window. When the property is set to true , the backgroundColor property of the object can be set to any value, including the default value of transparent .

Example

The following example shows four ways to use the allowTransparency attribute, with and without the background-color attribute. Because the allowTransparency attribute of Frame1 is set to true , Frame1 renders red, the background color of the parent document. The allowTransparency attribute of Frame2 is also set to true , however the background-color attribute of Frame2 is set to green , so Frame2 renders green. Because the allowTransparency attribute of Frame3 is set to false (the default value), Frame3 renders white, the color of the t:SRC document. The allowTransparency attribute of Frame4 is also set to false , so Frame4 renders white even though the background-color attribute of Frame4 is set to green .
