Can WP8.1 have the ability to create transparent live tile through code? In WP8, I create the background image of live tile through the WriteableBitmap. But the background of tile only have the theme color in WP8.1 similar to WP8
You need to make sure that the file you're writing supports transparency (eg png) and that the source is transparent. I know there's a tutorial using writableBitmap and a user control. If you're doing something like that, make sure that the user control background is set to transparent.

Can I embed flash with away3d inside of it into html and have a transparent background?
All the information I've found refers to the inability due to restrictions of Stage3d.
But i saw working example.
Is there any way to achieve this result? (swf alone)
I think that's an old version(right click it) of Away3D that doesn't run on Stage3D so it can be embedded with wmode=transparent. For the latest Away3D running in hardware mode you need wmode=direct... so it wouldn't work with transparency. If you want to do something simple like the banner on that site you can try an older version from the GIT repository.
Is it possible to play a piece of audio (very short) in the background agent in Windows Phone? Not background music. What I want to achieve is to tell user what the time is every half an hour.
Try this, it's a tutorial with a sample project:

We Embedded the SoundCloud HTML5 Mini Player on our website.
We are trying to change the colours of the player's elements without success.
Is there a way to change the BG colour as well as the text colours to fit our site's colour pallete?
You can provide a color parameter when embedding widget:
https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/6981096&color=2b877f
This will make widget themed with the provided color.
If you'd like more customization you'd need to build a custom player with a library like SoundManager2 or Audio5JS or by using SoundCloud JavaScript SDK that would play sounds from SoundCloud.
I hope this helps!
This is only half an answer. You need to set the player's visual tag to false. And you cannot change the background, as of April 2015.
Just to get some professional opinions, is it possible to load in an external SWF and set that SWF's background to transparent?
This question has nothing to do with embedding the SWF in an HTML page. I already know that setting the WMODE to transparent will create a SWF with a transparent background in a browser.
I don't believe that there is. Assuming that I understood your question right, the stage's background cannot be transparent as the color picker in CS4 for it doesn't have the alpha, and I doubt you could do it with code if you couldn't there.
Assuming you are talking about loading swfs inside swfs:
The background color property is only used when you open the swf inside the standalone player. Inside the browser, you can set this property via swfobject (other embed methods are available), other wise it is always transparent. In fact, in the compile options it is called 'default-background-color', not 'background-color', I think they should update this in the Flash IDE to be clearer...
I would recommend drawing or placing a graphic with the desired background color just underneath the loaded swf.
Hope this helps you
