Returns or sets a Boolean value specifying whether or not the image window is transparent when an ASF file begins playing.
object.TransparentAtStart
Setting TransparentAtStart to True makes the image display window show whatever is behind the Player control when the current file position is zero and the control is in the stopped state, or when a file begins to play but has not displayed the first image.
This property is useful when authoring HTML pages because you can position an image directly beneath the control and have the image show through.
If both TransparentAtStart and AutoRewind are True, the control becomes transparent again after an ASF file finishes playing. To make sure TransparentAtStart has the desired effect, see AutoRewind.
TransparentAtStart takes precedence over AnimationAtStart.
The default value of this property is False.
