So, why is the background always white when exporting to swf?

Hi,
I think that Indesign ability to export as swf has more to be considered as a cool tool, useful once in a while, than a real productive tool.
Indesign is probably not a multimedia creation software as Flash.

Once that said, you may try to import this exported swf into flash if you have this soft. You have to create a new document and place the swf in the scene.
There is chance that you get all the elements rasters and vectors. Hence, you will be able to set the background as transparent I guess.
certainly much more cumfortabily.

PS: At last, you my request this improvement in Indesign new versions. Adobe offers a page for that kind of wishes.
