Hi Tan,

Yes you can change the white background to purple. You will need to open the file in flash and simply change the background color to the same as what your website is. (Tip: Use the RGB Code to get the exact color)

Open the file in flash > Select Modify > Document > Change Background Color (insert RGB code) > Hit OK

Then go: File > Publish

Your globe should now have your chosen background color.

Hi,

I would like to use the gold globe for my site. I am not sure of how to take out the white background. My site background is purple. Is that even possible?

Hi guys, just in case somebody is still interested on it, I’ve been working in a project very similar to this called Fix Planet Earth, using 3D rendering in real time and merging multiple globe textures on the fly, take a look on it, I am pretty sure you will find it very interesting, enjoy! http://www.yoambulante.com/en/labs/FixPlanetEarth/

I’m trying to make my own. How do I keep the maps from showing in the screen when they pass over the globe? Right now I can see a faint shadow as the merge off center. Also how can I get curvature to these images to make them appear more realistic?

For those looking for an even better version of the globe check this out. Spinning 3D Earth <-- One of the best I have seen.

This is great, thanks. I’m using one for my classroom. It helps to explain why in some maps Africa is on the left, on others on the right, lol.
